On to SHINE!!!

So last week I came across the agency Actors, Models & Talent for Christ (AMTC) via KTIS radio station. I then went on the website to take a look it further. I then decided to sign up for an audition session they were holding. Saturday the 13th I went to the audition. I learned a lot while being there. I was told that if accepted with their agency, I would get a call back the next day.  Sunday after church I seen a missed call with a voice message. I was excited to find that AMTC had called me back. I wen to an orientation meeting that night.  I learned how their system works and what they expect from their performers.  We got to meet a few scouts and other talents that we'd be working along side. So by me getting in with this agency, doors will be opening by God's glory for self improvement in my career. I am excited to see where this takes me!! Next mission: SHINE in Orlando, FL!!

Please keep me in your prayers as I go on this God given mission!! God bless!!

Motivate!!!

 Pictures taken while I'm doing one of my favorite ab exercise!!!

Newly Discovered - Plus some good oldies

There's always room to learn new things. Just when you think you know everything, something surprises you.  When my friend showed me this workout it was something that felt different for me as a workout. It felt good to feel a different type of "pull" on my muscle while doing this.  The band helps give resistance and you have to keep yourself controlled throughout the movement.  Your forearm stays flexed so that it will also get toned and stronger. Give it a shot and you may be surprised yourself with a new exercise.

This is my friend Dixon that showed me this exercise. It's called "lawn mower bicep pull."

Beginning Position

Ending Position

Half ball Jump Squat Exercise

This was a great exercise for the legs. We did 3 sets of 12-16 reps.  You can feel it also in your abs if you're doing it correctly as you are squatting. Starting out you may need to do fewer reps, then work your way up as you get stronger.  Also it takes some balancing skills to do this exercise also.  

Hanging Ab Exercise

You can listen to the video to hear what this exercise work on and how to do it. 

I did as many as I could until you feel it "burning!"

Peck Fly Exercise

This was a great new for my weight training. I also was given great advice in doing one arm at a time and flexing the other arm forward a small amount. It gives the other arm great range of motion and a greater workout for your pecks (aka chest) and arms.  

Doing 4 sets of 15 reps. If doing it the individual arms, do the same, just 10-15 reps on each arm. 

Half Ball Lying Ab Exercise

Great for defning your abs.  Laying on your back on the half ball; adjusting your weight to your preferences.  At the same time you're pulling your weight with arms, lift your knees to your chest. 

Doing 3 sets, 15-20 reps.

Lying Leg Raises

Another great ab workout.  Laying on a bench, pull your legs (keeping them straight) into the air, keeping your abs engaged.  Don't let your legs touch the ground, this will help 

keep your abs tight throughout the exercise.

Doing 3 sets, 20-25 reps.
