Wow how time flies – loving life

Sun ,04/09/2011

It is amazing all fast time flies. I was just thinking today that I needed to get on here and blog some. It is amazing that the last  time I blogged I was heading to Bogota. Well I am off to Bogota again I actually misspoke before. Bogota, Colombia is at 9600 feet which is an amazing altitude to train at. It is perfect timing as we have the 2011 Mike Lee Kanarek Boot Camp coming up.

While I am down there I will be training at Cross Fit Bogota. It is truly a great group of people and while I am down there I will be putting on a few FIGHT classes. Geoffrey Tudisco and his team do a great job and provide an awesome atmosphere for training. When I am not at cross fit I will be training near our condo down there using the stairs, streets, or mountains as my personal training ground.

My focus right now is to work to build my cardio for my upcoming test at that start of next year.

The great thing about Colombia is the food is fresh and organic. The fruits and vegetables are so rich in nutrients and flavor  I love it. It helps with the nutritional choices that occur during the day. The only thing is watching the amount of food intake.

Time does fly. I look at the picture above and I actually look skinny. The last couple years the combination of Combat Fitness, American Kickboxing/Muay Thai, and FIGHT I have  help physically change me. I have mentally changed too thanks to the MC philosophies. MorningCoach.com has been growing at a spectacular rate and I have been able to help so many people. Which to me is super cool. Over the next few months we will be working on bringing more video to the site and I will be doing my first Intelligent Life Design event in New York on November 12, 2011. It is going to be an amazing event and I am honored to have Mike Lee Kanarek as a special guest.

The next few months are going to be amazing. Boot camp is coming up, lots of travel down south, goals to hit and time to prepare fo the test that will be coming up soon.

I will be blogging more as the time gets closer so stay tuned.

All the best!

Training at 8000 Ft in Bogota Colombia!

Wed ,26/05/2010

I am getting ready to head out to do some high altitude training here in Bogota Colombia. I arrived on Saturday night and had to take care of some business and I am know ready to get training. I have yet to find a MMA gym or boxing gym but I have found the worlds highest cross-fit facility. I am going to go on my search today for a boxing gym to hit some bags etc…

I have a week left and my goal is some hard core training. It is really hard to eat on my diet here. Everyone loves bread it is everywhere. I am going to focus on my training and do the best I can at my diet. When I get home in a week it is back to hard core HaganaH and Combat Fitness as well as working with Billy Beck III to get my body fat down. I am still in single digits but it is tough.

My cardio should improve it is really difficult at this altitude. I will follow up with some updates. Have a great week!
