Joe De Luca maybe someday an opportunity will

Come. I’m very focused on developing my art career at the moment. But I also love being on the app here and a part of the community. If JRD ever expands maybe I can help out! You gave me something to think about so thank you for that. ❤️

Kari Hayward yay!!!! Have so much fun! Looking forward to your updates!

Thanks, Kari! How are you? Killing it I hope!

Joe De Luca think in another life I’d be a coach!

I'm unsure if I understand your question, but I'll try to answer.

I do feel a difference, and I feel much better now. However, it isn't an apples-to-apples thing--they are different approaches to develop and maintain a fit & healthy body. But when I was bodybuilding, I was training for a show. So my whole routine/schedule/diet revolved around building muscle, adding volume, etc. I built a lot of muscle over a period of 1,5 years, and on top of that, I had a solid base to work from, being that I've been active my whole life (from running/yoga/HIIT/lifting/boxing/walking/dance, etc.). And I eat really well, which I believe is about 80/90% of the work. So, my lean body now comes from shedding the fat from lifting and eating a lot to grow muscles!

Is the jumping enough? For me -- I'm a busy body. I supplement it with yoga, walks, and sometimes sprint workouts. If I lived somewhere where the weather was better and had more access to nature, I'd be outside playing far more than I am now. I am just an active person. I really, really, really like moving my body. And the major difference now is I feel 'lighter' which I prefer, I have more mobility than when I was lifting heavy, and more time because I'm not at the gym doing these long push pull leg schedules. The jumping is play, which adds more play and joy to my life.

Something that HAS noticeably improved has been my cardiovascular endurance. I used to be very cardiovascularly strong but when I shifted to body building my cardio training was reduced to just casual walks. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But as a life long runner I really missed the heart pump from something more cardiovascularly intense — & the mood boost has been the best added bonus.

Hope that helps! xxx

I think I’m up for the challenge!

Love this happy face!!

That looks so fire 🔥
