Great work out! I pushed myself with my legs today, which I find to be the weakest part of my body. So I am extra motivated to make sure that my legs are looking good this time around. I'm still having pain in my foot, which limits my running, so I have been doing my cardio in the oliptical machine which has been less pressure on my foot. I have a doctors appointment today to see what is, so keep me in your prayers.

Also I have a big announcement that I will be making don't have an exact day I will be announcing this new but please stay posted on thefuego to find out what it is!!


So how is your beach body looking? Would love to hear your story and/or submit some photos.

Got to the gym at 5am on the dot. I was pretty happy about that because being there at that time gives me a couple of extra minutes to do more stuff. But everything went pretty normal today. I've been super amped about how my workouts have been lately. I've been switching it up with exercises that I have never done before, which keep me pumped and also brings muscle confusion to my body, which in the end will give me the results that I am looking for. Tomorrow I will be working out at the Waterford L.A. Fitness at 7am if you are interested in joining me, let me know.
