Yeah, I did it again. The Zombie rose up in the dark of the morning—6 a.m.—and attacked ye ol’ Nordrick elliptical for the third morning in a row. The fourth challenge of the Sweatember Walking Challenge moved away from the sandy beaches, and Stacie Clark, to the plains of the Serengeti. This time, Dr. Even Antin took us up in a hot air balloon to witness the Great Migration. It’s the first workout of the Serengeti Safari Series. I’d already done the first four of this 10-part series, but the views are worth a repeat.
I’ll admit, this one was tougher than expected. I only got 5 hours and 21 minutes of sleep last night—thanks, Apple sleep app, for that 41 sleep score. No idea what that means, but I know even us undead need proper rest. I’ll dive deeper into this sleep data once I tackle my other challenges.
The past three mornings of light cardio have really been game-changers. After rehydrating, downing my trusty Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale protein shake, and taking some recovery time, I’m full of energy throughout the day.
So, if you can, claw yourself out of last night’s grave and get moving. Feed your body (and whatever soul you have left), and enjoy the mental and physical benefits for the rest of the day!

I'm on a lifelong quest to find the perfect balance between strawberry smoothies and pizza slices. A self-proclaimed gym enthusiast who believes rest days are just as crucial as leg days—especially if they involve NASCAR racing. I lift weights, but only so I can justify my love for chocolate cake. When I'm not at the gym, you’ll find me riding dirt bikes or capturing the thrill of motorsport through my camera lens. Join me as I navigate the highs and lows of fitness, where progress is measured in reps, and cheat meals are a form of self-care.
