Liz let me in....

Howdy. For those who do not know me, I am Timpani's husband. I am supposed to test for a black belt in Kajukenbo in April so I am trying to up the fitness level.
Because my instructor did not want to see me doing- no offense- girl push-ups and the other guy testing is a youngster who blew out his shoulders, so he decided it would be great for us to do shadowboxing for 15 minutes straight instead. :P That will be coupled with the at least 5 rounds each of stand-up sparring, grappling and undisclosed activities.
I have done this week:
Monday- 25 minutes of aerobic activity (20 stationary biking, 5 minutes "ground and pound" on a kicking shield and a couple of non-counted minutes of knees and low kicks in the air.)
Tuesday- 20 minutes of stationary biking
Wednesday- 25 minutes of aerobic activity (5 minutes "ground and pound" and 20 stationary biking w/martial art hand techniques)
Thursday- taught the Kajukenbo (martial art) class tonight for an hour. Various activities, probably had 20 minutes+ in there somewhere.)
Except for today, I also stood in horse stance for 2-3 minutes at work.
("Ground and pound" is taking a kicking shield treating like a grappling opponent, striking it, switching positions, striking more, rinse, repeat.)

Thanks for having me.
