Gina Elko, halfway through heavy training, still smiling. What an athlete!

The relationship between KnuckleUp Fitness and AFL MMA (Amateur Fight League) has created a new MMA talent: Gina Elko.
At age 43, Gina is the Captain of the Nags Head Fire Department, and she runs a successful landscaping company in the outer banks. At first, her decision to jump on the ring may come as a surprise to most people, but Gina’s always been an aggressive athlete, no matter the sport.
She is a national competitor at the Firefighter Games, which by itself requires amazing conditioning, but Gina has taken it even further ever since she joined our Kitty Hawk Gym:
She currently holds a 1-0 record from a Tough Man competition, and had her first amateur boxing match last year, against fellow firefighter Donna Black. She won, by the way.

Enough people have been asking for this chart, so here it is.
HealthHabits Diet Compliance Chart
This is a generic version that works with any type of diet.
As long as a meal follows the rules of your particular diet, you put a check in the appropriate box. If you cheat, you have to put an X in the box. Simple, but effective. Something about putting pen to paper makes your actions more permanent.
A chart full of checkmarks is very motivating, as is a chart full of Xs.
But, like any other tool, if you don’t use it, it won’t work.
Note – You don’t need to eat 6 meals a day.
Note – You can replace the Checks & Xs with Gold Stars if the child in you so desires.

Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds Walk for 10 seconds Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets. So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time.
