Vacation

This past week I spent traveling to central America the country Nicaragua. It is where I was born and raised until the age of 8. I really love Nicaragua it is a young country with lots of potential. I did 3 complete workouts in 3 different location. The first was in an Island on the lake Managua, the habitats are quite healthy, their diets comply of rice and fish, they row numerous miles a day and swim as well. I did a body weight workout, the local ponder about what a 6 foot 2 gorilla was trying to accomplish with wall jumps, tree pull-ups, trx single leg squats and handstand push-up in a 10-1 rep fashion. I also ran barefoot on along the beach, it was a tropical paradise. I wish I could say the same about the city of Managua, change is slow in this city, last time I try to workout in one of the local gyms I told myself I wouldn't do that again. The workout was done in the house I was staying, I did some tabatas that consisted of squat, push-ups, lunges, crunches, and burpees. I forgot to mention that I did brought my 16kg kettlebell, which I got a chance to use at the beach. This was my favorite part of my trip, not because I got to use my kettlebell but because the ocean was extraordinary. The workout consisted of 7 reps of swings, clean & press, reverse lunges, figure 8 to a hold, deck squats, rows, high pulls, snatches, windmills and finally TGU, a total of 3 rounds. I'm glad I got the rest I needed during this trip; tomorrow I will start up my training again, I will miss my country but I'm also glad to be home.
