Fitness Summary 7 December 2009

Muay Thai workout tonight. Ten or so students braved the cold and came out. Walked through several belts’ worth hand and feet combinations. Mental focus was sufficient to keep all the techniques in mind as three strikes built to six, to nine, to 15 and more. I still stop from time to time to catch my breath, but I guess that means I’m doing it right. Core exercises at the end were hard, as usual. Varieties of crunches with a ten pound medicine ball, several incarnations of pushups, all wrapped up with what felt like a day’s worth of bicycles.

Left psoas muscle feels much better, though I can feel a little tension there just now. Torsion on the roundhouse kicks much improved.  Upper body rotation on hand techniques was satisfactory. Need to improve power and confidence on the straight, pushing kicks. Fear of breaking toes is not insignificant, but it should not completely stop me from kicking the damn bag.

Great workout tonight, left winded and pleasantly sore.
