Day 11

Simple workout today. 30 minutes yoga.

Day 10

Pretty good day despite the fact that my knee was hurt and it was a leg day. As long as I didn't go past down to a 45 degree angle or hit some crazy twist I was able to do most of the exercises I had my guys doing. The session lasted an hour and a half, but this was the first time doing this one so I'm sure we can get it down to an hour and 15 or better.

Day 9

Day 9 was simple. Half hour of yoga.

Day 8

Today was better than yesterday. An hour and a half workout at the gym, that worked the core pretty good as well as some Thai pad work, and I managed to keep my heart rate up pretty well throughout even though it was less cardio orientated.

Day 7

Day 7 was spent doing around 2 hours training in the gym. It was a mix of upper-body and core. Overall decent work, but nothing special.

Day 5 and 6

Ah... barely get going and already a failed day. Day 5 I missed my workout window. Day 6 however I did manage to get a workout in though light one. Half hour of Yoga. I think I'm finally starting to feel a little less sore.

Day 4

Managed to stay on track. Even though it wasn't until 10:00 pm, I got my workout in. Half an hour of yoga. Today's yoga was tough for me, a couple of the positions I could tell I wasn't quite ready for, and really tested my flexibility.

Day 3

Oh man... Today was kinda crazy. I was so sore in my core from Day 1 workout it felt like a bruise wrapping around my entire mid-section. Add to that I was teaching our fighters a whole knew set of body-strength exercises, that I was still getting familiar with, it was crazy. These new exercises are requiring a lot more balance and overall body strength. Shit even my top in shape fighters had beads of sweat pouring off them.
Anyway Day 3 is a success... 27 days to go, lol. This is just the beginning of the beginning. I'm really feeling the fighting bug coming on again. Gonna need to do a lot of work if I wanna go down that road again.

Day 2

Missed my chance to get the Yoga in I wanted for day 2, but I still managed to get a half hours worth of band work in, so I met my goal.

Back to day 1

Okay, so I've obviously fell off the wagon as far as keeping up with my blog, and to a smaller extent my workouts and diets. I had finals come up and let that be part of the excuse, but the fact is life always has something. I've actually been working out still regularly just not as often as before, and am feeling stronger overall when I'm in the gym.
So today I decided is day 1 all over again. I have a plan for this go around though. I want to have 30 days straight of working out and blogging that workout everyday. Minimum requirement for a workout to qualify is 30 minutes. That's it... just 30 minutes of some kind of workout. Yoga, Muay Thai, grappling, running, whatever. It just has to be something, every day for 30 days. I'm not going to worry about diet so much, although I will trying to maintain some healthier eating habits, the focus is going to be on the workout. The idea is that if I can maintain it for 30 days, that will go a long way to making it a habitual regular part of my life. With my baby due within the 30 day timeline, that is definitely going to throw a wrench in the works, but as I said before: Life always has something. It's up me to deal with it directly and not let it impact a measly 30 minutes in a 24 hour day.


Todays workout: 2 hours Muay Thai at the gym... probably about 30 minutes of which was just coaching. I'm getting more and more into working out with my guys as I coach them, instead of just before and after, and little bits during.
