How to Measure Your Transformation

Even if you want to lose pounds, what really matters is losing inches.

My Reason

 I am no runner but this year I am running for a cause that's dear to my heart. I am running to raise money to help fight heart disease in honor of my grandmother Ivory D Walters. Although many people think of heart disease as a man's problem, women can and do get heart disease. In fact, heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States.

The numbers are just staggering: 

• 65 million Americans have high blood pressure
• Nearly 100 million have borderline-high or high cholesterol
• More than 136 million are overweight or obese
• 36,000 babies are born with heart defects each year

As frightening as those numbers are, it could be even worse. Since 1999, the death rate from coronary heart disease has decreased by 23%; the death rate from stroke has been reduced by 19%; and high cholesterol prevalence was reduced by 20%. Much of this success in fighting cardiovascular diseases and stroke is due to the research, public education efforts, medical training and community health programs funded by the American Heart Association (AHA). But the credit goes to you, our supporters. Lawyers Have Heart has raised more than $7.5 million since its inception in 1991, and thanks to your continued efforts, we are on track to raise $675,000 this year by race day. Your support is absolutely critical to funding the programs of the AHA and saving lives.

Every dollar more we can raise will make even larger impact:

• $15 can make the newest CPR Guidelines available to an emergency care provider.
• $20 could teach up to 50 people how to assess their risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke and provide the steps for them to identify and reduce their risk. $100 can equip one hospital or health department with resources to educate patients, the public and health professionals on stroke prevention and life after stroke – the #3 cause of death and leading cause of disability.

Epic Workout

I call this workout epic because after I finished the other guys that where in the gym just looked at me with the WTH face O-o lol. If you don't know what that is believe me after I finish telling you what I did you will.

I created this workout to try & get me ready to run a 10K for charity to help fight heart disease . The catchy part is that I am not a runner at all and I have less than a month to become one.

I started the workout off by doing sprints at full speed, one minute interavals for 30 mins. After that I did the 2 min cool down before hitting the weights. I took about 25% off what I would normally lift so I could do each weight training exercise slow & controlled. (5 seconds up 5 seconds down) I had to get to 12 reps but by rep 8 I was shaking. After all the weight training training exercises where done I took a water break then went right to plyo/calisthenics exercises. (All done with explosiveness)

1 set 8-12 reps slow

Barbell Squat
Calf Raise w/Barbell
Leg Extention

Rest 1 min

Box Jumps for 30 seconds
Side Jumps (land on one foot) 30 seconds

1 set 8-12 reps slow

Bench Press
Curls
Behind the neck overhead press (W/just the barbell)

Rest 1 min

Plyo Push ups for 30 seconds
Wide Push Ups for 30 seconds
Dive Bomber Push Ups 30 seconds

Live Strong or Just Dope?

To me Tyler didn’t say anything I didn’t know or already suspect. These accusations have surrounded cycling for years. When Tyler said “I’d bet my life” that every other team was doping it was nothing different than what I’d heard from many other racers over the years. The only thing new about it was that it was on 60 minutes and it was on the record.
