Day 5, Week Three - 22 Minute Hard Corps

Today's workout (July 29th, Friday, this is a late post) was CARDIO 1 + CORE 1.

It was pretty challenging to do my workouts during the Coach Summit Weekend events, but my coach team kept me accountable and even worked out with me to make sure that I got it done, now isn't that just amazing =)

Nothing beats accountability from amazing people!

In between Coach Summit Workshops at the Music City Center, we found a somewhat secluded spot to do a quick 32 minute workout (Cardio 1 is 22 minutes, Core 1 is 10 minutes). We felt right at home because the people who were all passing us by were also Beachbody Coaches, so they knew the dealio!

I really encourage doing a Beachbody Challenge, or any fitness challenge with someone who has similar goals as you, and will not let you quit. This will be a life saver on your BAD DAYS when you are feeling lazy and don't want to workout. Thankfully, I have a team of coaches, as well as an amazing online accountability group to keep pushing me. Although I've been working out for years now, I still have my not-so-good days, and it does help to have people around you who won't let you quit. If you need that, feel free to message me, I'd love to help you, just like people have done for me!

Anyways, here's my accountability video, trucking right along!

Day 4, Week Three - 22 Minute Hard Corps

Day 4 Week Three 22 Minute Hard Corps, Coach Summit Nashville 2016, Bombshell Dynasty 2016, Downtown Nashville YMCA, 22 minute Hard Corps Challenge Group


It was officially Day 1 of Coach Summit today and what a PRODUCTIVE day it was! Here I am posting this blog and it is 12 midnight (the next day) and I've been going strong for more than 15 hours, WHOA!!

So I don't want to bore you on all the things that I did today, but hey.....I did my 22 Minute Hard Corps workout (and so did my Dad), and that's what counts right =) Today's workout was RESISTANCE 2 and I was able to get it in between my Coach Summit activities. One of my fellow coaches on my team went with me to the Downtown Nashville YMCA, and that is where we got it done! =) Btw, the Downtown Nashville YMCA was an amazing facility complete with more than you can ask for, I could've spent all day in that place! If you are ever in Nashville, and you need a place to workout, I highly recommend checking it out. The day pass fee was $15 per person and well worth it.

Before the workout though, I met up with a few hundred people from our Coach Team and we did a group photo shoot at the Hilton Downtown Nashville. I've been going to Coach Summit since 2011, and I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see our team continue to grow in record numbers. From 5 coaches in 2010, to over 80,000 coaches today, it's just crazy!

What's On My Facebook?

What's On My Facebook, Facebook Fitness, Using Facebook as a Beachbody Coach, Using Facebook for Business, Facebook organization

I've visited Boston a few times, and it is one of my all time FAVORITE historical cities to visit in the USA. Lot's of American Past-Times, and unless you were born under a rock, most of the world knows that FACEBOOK was founded just a hop, skip, and a jump away in neighboring Cambridge, MA at the prestigious Harvard University. What a brilliant dude, that Mark Zuckerburg!

Kirkland House - Harvard University
What's On My Facebook, Facebook Fitness, Using Facebook as a Beachbody Coach, Using Facebook for Business, Facebook organization
Where Facebook was born

I took my family to Cambridge last year, and I gave them a little tour of the campus. Just walking around, and bumping into SMART ASS (no really, they're pretty smart ha ha) students, who some of them may one day create "million to billion dollar enterprises", it just mesmerizes me.

My family and I ate at Mr. Bartley's near Harvard Square, it's a cash-only local burger joint with entree names originating from unique Instagram hash tags, pretty cool! This place is definitely a "must-eat" place if you are taking a break from your health, nutrition and fitness regime =) That's why I was there, I was taking a break LOL.

Harvard Square
What's On My Facebook, Facebook Fitness, Using Facebook as a Beachbody Coach, Using Facebook for Business, Facebook organization

Ok, I might've gone a little overboard on my burger =) 
Mr Bartley's Harvard Square, Best burger in Harvard
Mr. Bartley's - Harvard Square

As my tattooed server whipped around the corner to serve me my big fat burger, I was already planning to take a photo to share on my Facebook. As I was trying to take this gastronomic photo of this MASSIVE creation of awesome sauce, I was also multi-tasking and being strategic on what my caption would be before actually posting it for the whole world to see! Wait a minute....should I even be sharing this on my Facebook timeline as a Beachbody Coach...I mean, aren't I an online fitness coach? Well, YES I AM =)

What might my friends and customers think of me? Will I be labeled as some sort of hypocrite for promoting a healthy and fit lifestyle, while posting a gigantic burger similar to the size of the TITANIC?!?!

Wait it minute, it's my Facebook page, and this is how I relate to people. I am not PERFECT, and neither do I represent myself as someone who doesn't make mistakes (or cheats on a meal every once in awhile). This is what I was thinking about when I was portraying myself as an iPhone Food-Spotting paparazzi guy, and asking THEE question......should I post this or not?

NEVER, NEVER POST NEGATIVITY, ONLY RELATABILITY 

I can't really remember what I decided to do, but as someone who has built a small fitness-related internet company primarily through social media and Facebook, it's sometimes difficult to know what to post, and what not to post, all of this... from a business stand point, and protecting a brand.

If you do not own a business, then you probably won't even understand where I am coming from, let alone care about what I'm even talking about, and that's ok too =)  I mean, if I didn't have an online business, my Facebook page would probably be a lot more private and only open to close friends and family. It took me awhile to open my life with people online. I'm naturally a very private person, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of you could relate, BUT  "get this"... anyone who has a business, with the intentions of being successful, it is almost a requirement to incorporate Facebook/social media into everyday business marketing strategies. Am I right?


As I started learning more about social media, and the power behind running a business using Facebook, things began to open up for me, but now it was all about juggling groups, LIKE pages, and those annoying group chats, I absolutely hate those group chats, stop adding me please =).

GETTING TO THE POINT
Since building my brand as a Beachbody Coach and Online Entrepreneur, I have grown from managing my main profile page to multiple Facebook pages. It was MASS CONFUSION in the beginning because I didn't know where to post certain things, when to post, and how to post. Again, this is from a business standpoint with emphasis on building a brand built based on integrity, and long term success.

I have since been able to learn how to categorize my pages and target the posts to each specific niche. So right now, you're probably really confused, sorry about that, no not really sorry, I had to learn all of this too =)

BUT HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON MY FACEBOOK:

- MAIN FACEBOOK PAGE, this is as personal as I get on social media. On my main profile page, I share the five things that I am very passionate about: family, fitness, entrepreneurship, obstacle racing, and travel. This is the BEST place to get to know me, other than coming to one of my family reunions or coach retreats. If you ever do come to one of those, I promise that you can try some of my parents authentic filipino cuisine, that's only if my Mom likes you =).

Within those 5 passions, I narrow it down even more to just Family, Beachbody health and fitness, and Travel.

- MAIN COACH PAGE, this is where I mostly share my health, fitness, and wealth-building related posts, as well as some motivational and inspirational quotes. If you want more of this type of content, I highly encourage you to follow my blog here since that is the main source for the shares on this page.

- OCRTUBE MEDIA PROJECT, this is about 100% obstacle course racing. This page is dedicated to my cause-related media project, making a difference, and also where I share other content from other reputable sources within the obstacle racing industry.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT

If you connected with me for reasons such as P90X, Obstacle Racing, or Travel....then now you know where that content will be readily available. Either way, it's great to meet all of you, and hope to see you somewhere around the world!

I'll be leaving for Nashville, TN late tomorrow night to attend Beachbody Coach Summit for the week, pretty excited to see my Coach Team =) Although I will be traveling, make no mistake, I will be staying committed to my challenge, I'll also be getting some of my coach family to do the workouts with me, should be fun!

So I just got back from South Carolina late last night from filming an obstacle race called the Bonefrog Challenge. As soon as I arrived home last night, I was BEAT UP, but I ended up still working late to upload all the video footage and viewing all the GoPro clips (4 GoPros) that I took during the race.

Post Bonefrog Challenge Workout, Bonefrog Challenge Workout, 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge, Day 7 Week Two 22 Minute Hard Corps, 22 Minute Hard Corps Cardio 2 and Core 1 Workout, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial


I woke up early this morning and immediately started video editing, and finally finished the race video. If you want to check it out, I will post the video below =) It was REALLY HOT in South Carolina (109 degrees), but it was definitely an epic event. 

Because I filmed the Bonefrog Challenge all day on Saturday, I ended up taking a REST DAY from my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge, and decided to do Saturday's workout "today" (Sunday), which keeps me up to date on my workout schedule. Although I took a day off yesterday, it really wasn't a day off because I ran almost 10 miles filming through the Carolina Hilly Terrain of Winnsboro, SC. I definitely felt the burn in my legs today, so I may have to modify some moves tomorrow to ensure that I do not OVER-TRAIN and injure myself. I listen to my body a lot more these days, YUP, I learned my lesson =) 

At any rate, WEEK 3 of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge begins tomorrow! =)

I was traveling and on the road all day, but I found a high school outdoor track which was perfect to get my workout in. It was the first time that I did my 22 Minute Hard Corps workout at an outdoor environment, and I loved it! I'll be taking a rest day tomorrow to film the BoneFrog Challenge in Winnsboro (South Carolina), but I will be using my Sunday REST DAY as Saturday's original workout =).

Opportunity to Make a Difference {Health & Fitness}

Making a Difference, End the Trend Of Obesity, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coaching Benefits, Why Become a Beachbody Coach, Own your own internet fitness company, Beachbody Coach Success
It's time to Make a Difference!

LAST NIGHT, I had the opportunity to be on a video conference call with some of the TOP leaders in the fitness industry, as well as the amazing CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler.

First and foremost, I just wanted to let you know that this post is NOT trying to sell you, recruit you, or even try MOTIVATE you. The goal for this LAST MINUTE post is simply just to throw some ideas and numbers by you, especially if you've ever thought of getting involved with the health and fitness industry as an ENTREPRENEUR focused on really making a difference.

And not just any entrepreneur who sells products and services, I'm talking about owning your own internet company that is truly based on helping people achieve some big goals - fitness and financial. You see, as an online Beachbody Coach, financial success is based on how many people you help, not about how many fitness products you sell.

I've been involved with companies in the past where in order to be successful, you had to sell things like soap, make up, and phone services just to name a few, and while some of these products are consumable and just made sense because we were all doing it anyway, I was really never passionate about it. During the process of selling, I didn't experience any REAL life-changing events, and although I loved the concept, my heart just wasn't in it.

When I finally found Beachbody, the company that I am affiliated with, that all changed. I actually found success before earning a decent income. It wasn't about the money, it was more about making changes in my health and fitness and sharing it with others. You see, I experienced LIFE-CHANGING events and I wasn't even making any money. As time went on, I began to just focus on helping people with their health and fitness goals, and all of a sudden, I had a business, and I began receiving paychecks every week....just for sharing my lifestyle with people!

Never considering what I did as a business (I always thought of what I did as a Beachbody Coach as a hobby because I loved it so much), I began to realize that there is potential in creating a life by design, you know.....doing something that you are actually PASSIONATE about, and making a living out of it. I never knew anything like that existed, I thought that athletes and celebrities only lived this type of lifestyle....I was wrong.

If you look at the photo above. The CEO of Beachbody displayed some average health and fitness stats from just North America alone. According to the numbers above, there are currently more than 226 MILLION people who still need help. 226 MILLION people who are out of shape and miserable. 226 MILLION people who are looking for people like you and I to help them live a better life for themselves and their families.

With Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler
Making a Difference, End the Trend Of Obesity, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coaching Benefits, Why Become a Beachbody Coach, Own your own internet fitness company, Beachbody Coach Success


Do you have Entrepreneur Tendencies, but just don't know where to start? Do you really want to make a difference by helping people? Then WHY NOT YOU? Why not help me and thousands of others who are part of this movement to END THE TREND OF OBESITY, why not you, and why not now?

You've heard of companies like Uber who is the largest taxi company in the world, but does not own ONE TAXI. You've heard of the company Airbnb, who is considered a real estate and hotel company, but doesn't own any hotels at all. What about this company called AirDine founded in Sweden. They are one of the fastest-growing restaurant companies, and they don't even own ONE RESTAURANT! These companies are making BILLIONS for providing a service to people, and at the same time, also helping people with their financial goals as well.

Now imagine yourself owning one of the biggest health and fitness related internet companies with the potential to earn millions by helping millions, and GUESS WHAT, you can do this from anywhere around the world with a laptop or smartphone, and you don't even have to own a single GYM! That's the power behind owning your own Online Beachbody Coaching Business. WHY NOT YOU, WHY NOT NOW?

Message me here, and let me help you get started, there are people waiting for us, let's make a difference together! =)

You are the average of the 5 people that you spend most of your time with,
surround yourself with people who will only lift you up and help you grow

I'm going to keep this blog post really short because it's about 1:45am right now, and I need to hit the sack, just have to post my accountability post and video =)


Today (well yesterday) was Day 3, Week Two of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge! We did the Resistance 1 Workout today, but the BEST PART was that my 71 year old Dad did 3 STRICT PULL UPS tonight. He hasn't been able to do a pull up in I don't know how many years! This 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge is really doing amazing things for him, and I cannot wait to see how he feels at the end of the 60 Day Challenge. Please feel free to continue following my accountability posts here, and if you need some health and fitness MOTIVATION, please do not hesitate to contact me here, I'd love to help you reach your goals!

I had to check out what this Pokemon Go game was all about, so before my workout today, I went to a couple local parks in Downtown Pensacola, as well as Pensacola Beach to play the game. Along the way, I met some diehard fans who were playing as well.

I am definitely NOT considered a GAMER, but I do like the idea of this particular game getting people out of the house and off the couch. Being a Beachbody Coach, it's something that I enjoy seeing, "people being more active". I'm looking forward to seeing some creative workouts coming out of this phenomenon.

After my little Pokemon Adventure, I went back home to do my 22 Minute Hard Corps Workout with my father. It's Day 2, Week 2 of our challenge, and we did the Cardio 2 along with the Special Ops Core Workout, and it was pretty tough doing it for the very first time. I'm excited to see some improvements in the coming weeks!

There are a lot of reps in the beginning of this workout, and by the time you get to the end, you'll be glad that the workout is only 22 minutes =), I  know that I was!!

Sorry for the LATE POST =(, but I got a bit lazy yesterday since yesterday was my REST DAY from my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge =) I didn't completely rest all day though, my brother Fermin invited me to go for a 10 mile mountain bike ride followed by a 5K trail run at the UWF Trails in Pensacola, FL, couldn't turn that down! But boy, it was really HOT!!

I did take it easy though and didn't do any fast riding (tried not too) or running, and then I ended my day with a Netlix and Chill Marathon =)

WHOA!!! Week 1 is done =) I am really enjoying this challenge, not only because I am doing this with my father, but the fact that the workouts are only 22 minutes, and you still get a kick aZZ workout!

What I has gotten stronger since I started the challenge this past Monday are my legs, and my pull ups strength, I was able to finish all reps without stopping, so I was happy with that =)


My father and I had a pretty busy day, so we were not able to workout until 10:30pm (last night), but we got it done! Check out my quick video, and message me here if you need a little fitness motivation, I'd love to help out!

Day 5, Week One - 22 Minute Hard Corps | Cardio 2

Day 5 Week One 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge, 22 Minute Hard Corps Cardio 2 Workout, 22 minute hard corps gorilla crawls
Watch Video Below

This is going to be a really short post since I did my 22 Minute Hard Corps workout late in the evening and I had to edit this video (below) and post this blog =). But today's workout was Cardio 2, which my father and I haven't done before, so it was pretty cool to be able to do a new workout this week. Cardio 2 was of course followed by Core 1 which I can honestly say that I've gotten slightly better, but I could definitely use more work on some of the movements.


I do have one more thing to say about the 22 Minute Hard Corps Cardio 2 workout....those GORILLA CRAWLS killed me! I mean they look so easy when people are doing it, but when you actually do them yourself, especially with the amount of reps plus the other exercises before that, OH MY GOODNESS, my legs were just burning! My dad, mind you he is 71 years old, he kicked my butt during the last round, check out the video! I just got SERVED =)

5 Things People Think I Am, But I'm NOT

Bagan, Myanmar (Burma) - 2015

When I first signed up on Facebook, I was hesitant on sharing my personal life with anyone. I've always been someone who kept to myself, and I could describe myself as an "analyzer" and a "skeptic". I really don't know where that came from, but I believe that it's just a natural instinct for US humans,  "to question things". Maybe if I can just be upfront with you, and tell you that I am a true, extreme INTROVERT, that might better explain things.

Through the years, I've opened up to my friends more and more (and even family), and although it seems like it comes easy for me, it definitely isn't, "openness" actually terrifies me. As life moves on though, responsibilities take over and many people including myself are forced to think out of the box, and do things that are way out of our comfort zones. Change was always scary for me, but as soon as my daughter was born in 1996, my life was forever changed. Let me explain a little.

WHAT CHANGED?
I began driving slower (yes, I am that annoying slow driver, but defensive driving kept my daughter safe), I began to set goals, financial stability became a priority, and more importantly, I began to open up. Why is "opening up" such a BIG DEAL? Well, it isn't a "big deal" for some people, but for me it meant being vulnerable. It meant more opportunity for rejection and negativity, and I hated that. Common or not, I know that I'm not the only one who felt this way either, I guess I just needed someone to show me the POSITIVE sides to the coin, the bigger picture if you will.

Change is scary but I've learned to accept it and adapt. I've had a BAZILLION jobs through my life, mostly in the hospitality industry. At one point, I had one job at a local casino in Tampa, FL and a nightlife marketing business which I built up from ZERO to a 6 figure income business. Once I made a decision to leave the nightlife business (for reasons to better myself as a father) I was forced to work up to 3 jobs at 100 hours per week just to make ends meet. I did that for what seemed like ETERNITY.

I SAID TO MYSELF
Is this really what LIFE is all about? Is happiness and true "TIME FREEDOM" only for the lucky ones?

Hardships is what everyone goes through when they do not want to settle at being so-called "average". And in all honesty, I was comfortable with my life for many of my single, childless years, but once my Princess came into this world, I knew that things had to change. Oh, the single part hasn't changed yet =).

I hit rock-bottom multiple times in the recent years, and I could've easily quit, in fact I did a few times. There were times when I just wanted to go away for good. Yes, I just wanted to go sometimes, why? Because it was just easier. Pretty crazy right, yup...but that's what I went through, and most people don't know about that, again this is why I still feel a little uncomfortable with Facebook sharing. I mean, how much is too much.

Fast forward to PRESENT DAY. I've met some amazing people who have showed me the POSITIVE sides to the coin, and although it may seem like I am living the dream (to some people) I am still working hard everyday to ensure the success and freedom for my family. It's just a never-ending journey, but most definitely something that I look forward too, day in and day out.

WHAT AND WHO AM I TODAY?
I am an humble Entrepreneur who is constantly learning. I am a MINIMALIST, and prefer to own less than more. I run a fitness-related internet company affiliated with an amazing lifestyle brand. I truly believe that TRAVEL is the best education and THERAPY in the world. I started a cause-related media project to raise awareness for charity. But most of all, I am HAPPY. Monetary things (money) means very little to me, but I have a huge understanding on how it can affect our lives, and how important it is in order to grow as a nation, global community, as well as, how it can create a better future for my family.

SO WHAT ARE THE 5 THINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK I AM, but I'm not?

1.  I AM RICH - Nope, I am a hard-working father just trying to provide for my daughter and my family. I do not take short cuts, and prefer to give more than I make. Does this make me rich? It depends on what your definition of RICH is. I would say that I am rich in happiness, and I would love to meet more people who share the same views.

2.  I AM FIT - For some reason, people think that I am a fitness freak. I am far from that, and by no means is that my goal. I was introduced to obstacle racing by my brother Fermin after finishing multiple rounds of P90X, and I ran competitive for a few years until I accumulated some minor injures and unfortunately found out that my GOUT flare ups were caused mostly by my extreme training methods, so I had to step  down, put my ego aside, and just focus on being the healthiest that I could be. Although I was so upset that I could not race like I did in the past, something GREAT came out of it, and that is the creation of my OCRTUBE media project where I can still feel like I am part of the obstacle course racing community, whilst giving back to the community and making an impact in other people's lives. You see, everything happens for a reason.

3.  I AM A BLOGGER OR FILM PROFESSIONAL - I am a terrible writer/blogger and avoid the lime-light as much as possible. But this is something that I actually force myself to do just to adapt to change, and ultimately learn more about myself. I may NEVER be as fluid as Amelia Boone, Brett Stewart, Rachelanne Gladden, or Margaret Schlachter when it comes to the art of telling stories, and WOW, they are all absolutely amazing, but we all have our strengths and our weaknesses, and I'm not afraid to share mine with anyone, I guess that makes me real?

I make short obstacle racing, fitness, and travel videos/blogs but I've never been to film school, and I'll have you know, that I am my VERY worst critic! But I've learned that it's truly all about believing in the message that you are trying to project, and I am very passionate about what I do. Am I trying to be the BEST blogger, or the BEST filmmaker, or the BEST Coach? Not at all, I am simply trying to "pay it forward" in the way that I know BEST, because that's what others have done for me. #Grateful

4.  I AM PERFECT - I have had many negative reactions with certain Facebook posts that I have shared. For example: "Why do you workout every day?" "Why are you bragging about your travel adventures?" "Why are you promoting Beachbody all the time?" And the list goes on. When people see my posts, they think that I am living the perfect life. I am always spending time with my family, I am traveling all over the world, and I workout anytime that I want because I have nothing better to do. BUT, here's the thing, I DO NOT LIVE A PERFECT LIFE. In fact, I work very hard at what I do, and it is NOT glamorous by any means. I mean I probably still work 100 hours a week, every week. When I am with my family, I still have to make time to work on my business, or else I will not be able to spend time with them. When I travel, there are tough challenges with racism (yes unfortunately, this still happens, it's pretty sad), filming 8 hours in some of the most remote mountains in the world to have your camera footage stolen. And having the freedom to workout everyday is not always a luxury because mentally I am not always there. I still go through life challenges, I still pay bills, things do not always go MY WAY, because I am a real person just like you. I do not live the PERFECT life, but I just make the BEST of it. For me, a simple life is the best life.

5.  I DO THE IMPOSSIBLE -  "I want to do what you do!!!" I get that all the time. In the back of my mind, I say, "no you don't!" =). What I do and how I live my life is definitely not for everyone. Growing up in a family where "entrepreneurism" was highly-praised over job employment, I learned a lot about being independent. My father went from POVERTY in the Philippines to building a successful restaurant empire. He was not college-educated and learned everything from sheer HARD WORK and street knowledge. So when people tell me that I want to do what you do, BUT I CAN NEVER SELL, OR TALK LIKE YOU DO (really), OR MAKE VIDEOS LIKE YOU, OR WORKOUT LIKE YOU etc. that's not true, because frankly, I never knew how to do any of that, and I'm still learning. What made me decide to learn, accept change, and adapt is because I found my WHY, my purpose if you will. Every successful person that I have met has been driven by their WHY. Once you find out what the most important thing or person in your life, and you combine that with your non-negotiable goal, than you too can do what you once thought was IMPOSSIBLE.

I am still under construction, and I always will be, and frankly, I'm okay with that.
