Devin Hunter's Health, Weight Management and Money Making

See we have a Killer at Large in this nation and within 10 years 50% of school age children will become insulin dependent. This is what is killing this nation. We get repetitive messages each day while on the computer, watching TV, listening to the radio and driving down the street to eat eat eat. We can go anywhere at any time to buy a soda, bag of chips or a candy bar. We have access to cheap foods that have zero nutritional value at all everywhere we look.

IF you would like to understand the bigger picture, watch this video.

You might not be getting the results with your fitness and weight management for a few reasons. IF you fix these, you will see results in no time.

1.       You keep opening up the fridge (boredom)

2.       You keep drinking those expensive coffee drinks that are making you gain weight or making your wallet lose weight. (Do you really need them?)

3.       You purchase meals from places that have a drive thru.

4.       You go out to eat numerous times a week.

5.       You do not exercise 30 minutes daily 4-5 times a week

6.       You are not eating nutritious dense foods.

7.       You are not drinking ½ your body weight in ounces of water each day.

8.       You are not using Shakeology as a daily super food meal replacement program.

9.       You are eating 3 or > meals each day.

10.    You are not listening to what is working for me.

11.    You are not exercising with high intensity, just going through the motions.

12.    You spend most of your day sitting in front of your computer or TV.

13.    You are not getting 8 hours of good sleep each night.

14.    You are eating while standing up.

15.    You are eating off a large plate.

16.    You are drinking soft drinks daily. Whether they have diet, zero or whatever on the label, it is not good for you.

18.    You are eating at a buffet (cheap foods).

19.    You are not drinking a recovery drink after your workout like P90X R&R.

20.    You are eating foods full of sugars.

21.    You have friends who are overweight so it must be OK to be overweight also.

22.    You think you do not have the time to exercise.

23.    You are depressed from not getting any results or the results you expected in your exercise program. Guess what? You quit to early….. KEEP PLUGGING AWAY!!!!! DO NOT GIVE UP! I can help you!

Tuesday morning I decided to review the basic fitness training prep requirements Tough Mudder recommends on their Training tab for you to be able to complete TM.

Here is a portion of that is says “How fit do you need to be? First, complete slackers need not apply. Basically, you should be in good physical condition. At a minimum, we recommend that you are running regularly (3-4 times a week), work up to at least runs of 5-7 miles, be able to do 15-25 push-ups in a row, be able to bang out 6 pull-ups in a row (especially the guys), and be able to swim 50 yards without stopping (although you can skip the water obstacles).”.

See I was kind of worried about completing Tough Mudder being 49 years of age. But I watched some of the videos out there and realized this not just exclusively young fit people. I realized I could do this.

What made me realize I could complete in Tough Mudder was my current exercise program I have been doing since Mar. 2011 being P90X. It is because P90X is a complete workout program, but if you were to look at the Tough Mudder Workout PDF you will realize all the exercises for Tough Mudder are all exercises I already do with P90X. Well actually P90X has all kinds of strength moves and exercises, but P90X also includes YogaX, XStretch, CaridoX, Plyometrics and KenpoX helping you with all your cardio needs.

The only thing lacking on my end was being able to run for an hour straight. This worried me, so I started on my quest to run for an hour straight. I am glad to report; I was able to run 30 minutes with ease on my treadmill with a distance of 3 miles on Tuesday. With that said, November 20, 2011 I will be in my top shape using P90X BRINGING IT to the people at Tough Mudder.

If you want to get more info on P90X, simply click on the P90X banner to the right (or watch the video below) and get the all info you need.

If it was not for doing P90X and losing 40#, I would not even entertain the idea of participating in Tough Mudder.

See what I do something, I do it right wanting to push myself to my limits.

My wife says “I need to be committed if I want to do Tough Mudder here in IN in 3.5 months”.

Does she mean, I’m insane or I need to make a commitment? I’m confused!

Yes… I have decided to do Tough Mudder in Nov. 2011.

What is Tough Mudder you ask? They say “It is probably the Toughest Event on the Planet”.

“Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor.”

It also says “WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish the event. Only those in reasonably strong physical condition should enter.”

I have decided to step up my exercise program another notch and really “Bring IT” with P90X for the next 3.5 months. In addition to that, I will be incorporate running each morning and really working on my nutrition plan. I’m going to eat clean, also drinking my Shakeology daily to insure I’m getting everything I need to perform.

Nov. 2010, I would have never ever been able to do anything like this. I was sitting on the sideline watching others and cheering them on. Now I will be one of the ones others will be cheering on.

Get with me. I also started an Indiana Tough Mudder facebook event page if you would like to join the community.

Let me know what you are up to and if you need anything with your nutrition plan or fitness program I’m here to help and answer any questions you might have.

That is it this week, do your best and forget the rest!

Training videos coming soon!
