Dynamic Muscle Performance

Cheers🥂 to lifting the heaviest I’ve been able to lift since 2010 😳

There was a time where I told myself I would NEVER get here again, but still put in work to get as much functional mivement back as I possibly could

I started on our basement floor with nothing but body weight and this man supported me through it all he never gave up on me and never let me give up on myself

I would be so sore and drained, had days where I cried throughout my entire workout

And today I shattered my personal glass ceiling 
🙌

Calories

Depending on your goals your meals may look different, this is my teenage sons lunch, it may not look like it can add up to a lot. By the time it was made, his lunch was just shy of 1400kcal and then you add in breakfast and he was at a total of 1610kcal.

His goal is to gain weight, so when he gets home he will have another 1000kcal easily between his snacks and dinner.

For someone trying to lose weight these add up fast. So you want to make sure you’re getting in nutrient dense foods to help you stay fuller longer.

No matter your goals calories matter

Chicken or shrimp (2 pounds)

Add chickpea noodles (bonus they contain extra grams of protein and are Gluten Free) and add 1TBS of oil. Mix well and serve 🥗🍤

Tabata today was HARD!

But I did it, and the entire CAMP! It’s a great feeling to look back at how far I’ve come, not able to walk without dragging my foot and having someone live with us to help me function.

To now being able to do CAMPS and work part time 🙂

Burn has definitely been a blessing in disguise 💙

We’re not CrossFit athletes by any means!

Working out has been a journey for me all in itself, and today was HARD and added bonus I can say I beat at something 🙌

I got 14 rounds that’s 476 reps he got 11 rounds that’s 374 reps! That equals a whole lotta dead! 🙃

Have a good weekend everyone! @ Burn Boot Camp - Lake Mary, FL
