2/17/12 Roadwork

Off work today, so decided to move most everything back out to the garage. Carrying all eight KBs up the stairs was a nice workout in it's self. I love farmer's walks.

Roadwork
1/4 mile
1h swing 24kg 10/10
1/4 mile
C&P 24kg 10/10
1/4 mile
Forward ellipses 10
1/4 mile
Swings - same as above
1/4 mile
Forward ellipses 10

That was it today. Endurance sucks. It feels great to be back in the garage. Now just to make my sessions more consistent!

2/14/12 #Kenpo & #TKD

Stretching

Yellow belt - 10 techniques x2

Orange belt - 24 techniques x2

Short form 1 both sides x2

Long form 1 x4

Worked on drag step and crossovers maneuvers, rear and lead roundhouse with Shane.

Not a lot of time today, poor time management on my part. Need to be spending at least 1.5 hours 3x/week on Kenpo. Then to balance this with CST/TacFit, work and family time. It might be time to start getting back up at 4:30 am

2.10.12 - #Kenpo & #TKD #AKLA #ATA

Intu-Flow

Worked with Shane on his TKD kicks on heavy bag and using our new sheild and target.

 

Kenpo Kicks - all kicks 10/10 unless noted other wise - all on heavy bag

Lead leg front snap kick

rear leg snap kick

Wheel Kick

Drag Step Side thrust

Drag step roundhouse

spinning back kick

Inward crescent

outward crescent

lead leg side snap

combo rear leg front/back/side/wheel 5/5 (total 20 kicks each leg)

Total 110/110. 

Felt like my abductors were going to rip.

Finished with some pull-drag wheel & side kicks - I didn't count these

Health for Life Ab routine - this is old school - I am surprised I remembered it. I miss their products.
