I had a great workout for today and really enjoyed the Inner Warrior Stretch, that felt great.
Debbie- Glad you are feeling better and that your mom's chicken noodle soup helped with the headache and pounding to go away. That's great! Now, as far as working out goes do it when you are up to it and not before. Thumbs up for your Mom's soup!! Hugs!!!
Belinda- WTG with High Reps, that's a good one, and the ab work from that one is no joke. Excellent job on the workout, take care!
Chris- Nice job on your choice of workouts you've been doing, they all sound great. I did make note of what you said about Xtrain's Hard Strikes and that you like Combat much more. I do have all of the Xtrain dvd's I did pre-order them but haven't done any of them as yet. I got Combat before that and started it before hand and wanted to finish that rotation first before I attempted any of the Xtrain workouts. I am now in my eighth week of the 8 week combat rotation. Its really like 8 3/4 weeks really. I will need to do 4 workouts next week to complete it. I've been adding in pump 3X a week along with it and its been great. I did heed the warning about not doing strength workouts with Combat because of the tremendous work load on the upper body with all the punching, ab work, and leg work. I can see why they did say that because you really do engage all the upper body in combat and do use the abs alot so focusing additionally on strength and muscle building heavy weight work would not be recommended. That is why I chose to add in some Pump workouts because they are high reps low weight so its primarily a muscle endurance type weight work which seems to have been fine for me. No way I'd attempt STS or anything heavy weight wise with Combat that would be a recipe for certain injury. I will say that I'm glad I did get the extra combat workouts as add-ons. Nice workouts and I never dread Combat ever its fun and I love it. I seriously smile and laugh when I'm doing them because they are so much fun even as I'm drenched in sweat and feeling the burn and loving it. I love Dan and Rach together with Combat its da bomb! Great job on your workouts and "stay with the fight!"
Roxie- I hope all is well with you and the house selling stuff. I wish you tons of luck with that process. I do know there is a lot of work involved with keeping the house ready to show at a moments notice. Good luck with all of that and if you can workout too your a hero. Hugs!
Hugs and blessings to everyone!
