Tearing away...

Saturday was an exciting day.  Fernando did what few people in his position ever do.  He showed up, worked hard, didn't quit, and scheduled another workout.  Earlier this week we took a few measurements, in order to have a way to gauge progress, but the real progress is going to be visible in the workouts, and in his day to day activities.  I felt it was a good idea to video tape the meat of the workout, so that we would have some evidence to look back on.  Should Fernando see the program through and really make some huge changes in his life, the workout tapes will be the greatest visual measuring stick.  Based off what I saw Saturday, Fernando is committed, excited, and anxious to get the ball rolling.  And that is exactly what we did.  The idea behind the workout was to just keep things simple and use basic push, pull, and swing movements.  We involved the whole body and really got some bang for our buck when in comes to work vs results.  As expected, rest periods were important and we were not shy about using them.  The real focus was placed upon giving 100% during the work periods, take proper time to recuperate, and them going 100% again when ready.  It worked great, thanks to his commitment, and that is obvious during the video.
