Impact Martial Arts & Fitness

Here’s my story…

I joined Rev35 in January for REV35 session 2, I promised my partner Don that I would do this Rev35 thing after losing a bet. I had no intention of liking it or giving it much effort. I am a very busy man and I didn't think I had time for this. But a bet is a bet and I'm not one to back out of a commitment… so onward I went. My coach was Donalea and when we met I thought she was CRAZY! (I still do!) I promised her I would do the program as long as it didn't take me away from my business which consumes about 90 hours a week of my time. 
Day 1 my first work out in years. OH MY GOD! I’m going to die...I told Donalea that I hated her! I can't possibly do this you are killing me! I went home that first night sore as hell and totally exhausted. But, I didn't quit, I figured I could put two hours a week into this for the next five weeks…I might die but there is a slim possibility that I’ll make it to the end still in one piece. 
Day 2 Running. I was a runner way back in my younger years and actually ran a marathon in the 1970’s but when I was 45 I fell off my roof and busted my ankle and foot. I never healed correctly and limped most of the time right up to and during part of Rev35. I knew running was going to be an issue. I took it slow and listen to Tom Weber, I also followed all his instructions and by the second week I felt like I might just be able to run again.
The CHANGE: Somewhere near the end of week two I realized I needed to take this serious. I began to really study my eating habits; I kept everything lean, green & clean. I even started going to Kick Fit four to five times a week plus I was running three times a week. I was LOVING what was happening to me. I had more energy and my work time was becoming more efficient. Also my head was so much clearer. 
From then on I busted my butt gave 110% and I succeeded to lose 22 lbs. on my first time out…I still have a ways to go so I’m back and loving it even more. My goal is another 20 lbs. in this round. And then another 20 on the next session!
So for those of you new to this amazing group…It’s Ok to not like it at first and feel sore and tired and maybe even hungry …BUT don’t give up, this is best gift you could give yourself and in two weeks you will feel the transformation. AND IT’S AMAZING! AND YOU WILL BE AMAZING!
I’m happy and grateful to be sharing this journey with you.
And about that Crazy Donalea…I love her and all she has done to help me on journey being the best I can be.
