Days 12 and 13

I didn’t have time to post yesterday, so I’m combining the past 2 days. Yesterday was Legs and Back plus Ab Ripper, and it went pretty well. I was pressed for time again but still managed to get everything in. I’ve changed the bands I use for pullups, and I can tell I’m getting better resistance now, I might need to ad another band or sit further back, though, since I’m not really going to failure with 20 reps, it’s just all I’ve got time for. I was finally able to complete all 50 of the Mason Twists at the end of Ab Ripper, and I’m starting to be able to do more of the Fifer Scissors, too. So I know there’s some gains being made already.

Today was Kenpo, and I felt better doing it than last week. I think getting the moves coordinated to a point where where I can do them without spending 5 minutes figuring out what I’m doing wrong helps. I was definitely able to up the intensity to the point where my heart rate was up, and I was sweating a lot. I also cut the breaks a bit short to keep my heart rate higher, since it drops so quickly.

I think I may run when I get home tonight, depending on how I feel. If I don’t tonight, I will tomorrow since it’s the rest/stretch day and a run will let me get a good stretch in as well as keep up my running ability.
