Virgin Berry Mojito

I personally do not drink but it still doesn’t stop me from ordering the occasional mocktail once a blue moon. Recently I learned how to make a virgin mojito. This was a simple thing to put together and tastes phenomenal.

For this recipe you will need following; 4 fresh mint leaves, 1/2 oz berry syrup, 1/2 limeade, 1 lime, sprite/club soda to fill (i personally used sprite).  The rest will be very simple from here: obtain a glass large enough to accommodate your beverage, add in the lime and mint leaves and muddle them (squash and grind similar to a mortar and pestle), add enough ice to fill the glass, then add the limeade, syrup and sprite and mix (i have seen people stir and i personally shook mine in a metal cup alongside my glass), garnish with extra mint leaves and you’re set!

For reference my non-alcoholic across from one with alcohol for color contrast

And there you have it, a refreshing and non-alcoholic beverage. This was super fun and super easy to make and quite tasty. Until the next time dear readers. Excelsior!

30 Minute High Volume Drop Set Ab Workout (Bodyweight Only)

Spring is upon us. As the weather starts to warm up there are plans for trips, beaches. Vacations. Family reunions and everything of the sort. During the last few weeks i decided to make my workouts more challenging with more callestenics to help start the new season on a good foot. My most recent was a challenging ab day workout that i thought would be fun to share. I jokingly called this the dropset of doom core edition.

To start after a nice warm up for 5 to 10 minutes you will do the following (this is a general guideline of decreasing the reps but increasing negative reps):

200  crutches
100 lying leg raises (1 second negative)
50 side plank raises
25 bicycle crunches
13 inverted situps (2 second negative)
7 hanging leg raises (3 second negatives)
3 alternating hanging single knee raises to double knee raise with a leg raise (4 second negative)
1 alternating handing single knee raise to double knee rise with a leg raise and windshield wiper (5 second negative)
60 second plank

This can be customized to fit your difficulty level but i found i was able to do this in a 30ish minute time frame. Here’s to a great start to spring and kicking fitness goals off on a good foot! Until the next time dear readers. Excelsior!
