Luke’s Isagenix Challenge: Day 10

Bit tired this morning, but shake for breakfast and off to FITS for a workout before people come in. Cleans, and back weights, still feeling slow, and no explosion in my legs, can only manage a best vert of 24.9 inches.
Shake post workout, and then, the girls were fooling around with their vert at the [...]

Luke’s Isagenix Challenge: Day 9

Being the end of the week, and Thursday’s being a late night at work training the Titans, I decided I would sleep in and run after work because Friday nights plans consisted of dinner and TV, so no need to rush out after work.
Really feeling pretty comfortable with the shakes in the morning, but a [...]

Luke’s Isagenix Challenge day 7:

Day 7, return to solids, YAY!!!
Shake for breakfast, getting pretty comfortable now, although if I’m totally honest, I dont think it’s something I could everyday for the rest of my life.
Did my run in the morning, and felt strangely fatigued very quickly. I noticed this feeling during my weights the other day, and during a [...]

Luke’s Isagenix Challenge Day 6:

Cleanse day 2 began ok, I was able to do my run, and work out with no complaints, and thanks to the structured “cheat sheet” from Alan, I was able to get through the day pretty smoothly, apart from multiple trips to the bathroom due to the amount of liquids being ingested.
I think much of [...]
