Kajukenbo 10/1 & 10/8

We've been doing push-ups and Jujitsu sit ups consistently at the beginning of classes. At the end. we do "opas" and standing for a minute or so in a horse.

In the middle, we do forms and some other exercises. Last week it was "referencing" across the floor in a horse and power (forward) stance. ("Referencing" is just putting your feet together as you step, but I should them how to use it offensively. See examples here .) This week it was shuffling (this video is perfect BTW) and kicking a shield.

Thursday Yoga 40 minutes

Blah blah, more yoga, blah blah.

Thursday workout

Today was the Yoga DVD. It was funny because Bryan thought it would be easy. He was very wrong. Still, I love the feeling of relaxation I get after Yoga. Even if it was crazy hard and I couldn't do half of the poses. I just do my best.

Tues and Wed workout

Tuesday was the cardio DVD. I expected aerobics but it was more like strength training done so fast that it kept up your heart rate. Very tough, but I was able to keep up.

Wednesday was a Chest, Shoulders & Triceps DVD followed by a Ab Ripper DVD. This was way too hard for me. There must have been over 300 push-ups like exercises in this DVD. Even on my knees I couldn't keep up. So I did my best and stuck with it. Bryan loved it, however I kicked his butt during the Ab ripper DVD. It was awesome. The best ab workout I have ever had.

Wednesday Running/Walking 30 minutes

Running Report- I ran 1 1/2 miles with BIG hills and then walked 1/2 mile. I forgot to look at my watch when I stopped running, so no clue on my running time for this run.

Tuesday Strength Workout 30 minutes

abs, legs, arms.

Tuesday

Got up and ran with the group again. Bob and Greg kept me going, but my stupid hip really wanted me to quit. It usually fixes itself, but this is a BAD one. Anyway, I ran six with the group at around 8:45 minute miles, then I came home and ran a slow 1 1/2 with Lydia.
