Push up fundraising challenge

Curtis Matthews, Exercise, Tampa, , ,

Are you ready to get pumped up and inspired? I’m five days into the St. Jude push-up challenge, and I’m already a thousand push-ups down on day 6! Today, I completed 500 push-ups, and I’m aiming to hit the 3000 goal in just 15 days. It’s not just about the physical challenge, though. This challenge is all about raising money for the St. Jude hospital, and I’m calling on all my Facebook friends to donate to this worthy cause. Join me in this push-up challenge and let’s make a difference together. Let’s support the kids at St. Jude hospital and show them that they are not alone. Every push-up counts, and every donation makes a difference. Let’s do this!

Gina and I are training again

Curtis Matthews, Exercise, Natural Bodybuilding, Tampa

At Anytime Fitness in Westchase Florida, my wife Gina and I have resumed our regular gym training routine. We prefer this gym because of its convenient location and excellent facilities. It is the perfect place for us to achieve our fitness goals.

During one of our gym sessions, we decided to take some videos of ourselves goofing around. I was showing off my chest bouncing skills, while my wife Gina was demonstrating her incredible strength by doing pushups. And let me tell you, these were not your typical girly pushups. Gina performed them with pushup bars, adding an extra level of difficulty and showcasing her impressive upper body strength.

I have to admit that I was surprised by how many pushups Gina was able to do. She managed to complete an impressive 13 pushups with ease, which is a testament to her hard work and dedication to fitness. As for me, I continue to work on building my pecs and getting them to bounce to the beat.

At Anytime Fitness, we have access to a wide range of equipment and classes, which makes it easy to mix up our workouts and keep things interesting. We are constantly pushing ourselves to reach new fitness milestones and enjoy the process of becoming stronger and healthier.

So, if you’re looking for a great gym in the Westchase Florida area, we highly recommend Anytime Fitness. It’s a welcoming and supportive environment that caters to people of all fitness levels and goals. Come join us and see for yourself how fun and rewarding fitness can be!

Entertainment while waiting for Santa.

In Westchase we have a tradition every year in which Santa visits all the communities and lights up the Christmas tree. We live in the community WestPark Village which is the last stop for Santa and where the Christmas tree is located to be lit. There is always a group of families waiting and entertainment is provided. Below you can see a school dance class performing for the crowd.

The group is getting ready to preform
