End of week 4

Woooweee!

It has been a journey, but it has been a good'un!

Last week I started the ladies running around 'the track' AND I got out my sparring gear and go them suited up with chest protectors and gloves.

I made sure they were familiar with the basic kicks like the are familiar with the Bas basic punches, and then we went to town.

Using the legs is tiring becuase the muscle group is so big. I wonder if Rudy is getting the test group to kick nowadays. He worked our legs... no I take that back, devastated our legs with stairs and squats and such, but not so much kicks except for the 20/20/20's. I will read Nicole's blog to catch up on their workouts.

I've also been trying to slowly empower the ladies to take charge of their own workouts. One night we each took turns calling out the bas numbers and strikes for a round a piece.

We even developed a new exercise that I call 'Miller JJ's'. You know how Rudy would have us sprint the parking lot back and forth? I had us each take turns coming up with a different way to traverse the expanse of the lot. I made us do lunges the whole way, Sarah (the sungods fanatic:) had us do sungods as we walked the length and Vickie had us stop at each parking lot line and do jumping jacks. By the time we finish, we got almost to 100. I liked them. so I call them Miller JJ's (Vickie's last name is Miller btw).

These last two days, I have brought in the beachbody workouts that I coach on and sell now. We've done Hip Hop Abs which is totally fun and seriously whittling my midsection (my major trouble spot). I look forward to posting my abs pics on facebook in a couple weeks. Some people think the trainer, Shawn T. is a tad annoying, but I just think he is hip hop funky fun. I dig it.

About 6 years ago when I started Kung fu, I was deciding between dance and kung fu and of course kung fu won out. Now I am finally getting to learn how to move my body hip hop style! Both were SUCH a mystery to me before, now I have a decent understanding of both. I am soooo glad I picked KF because Hip Hop is a little easier to 'pick up' and less practical.

I think the ladies are ready for devastation now, that is why this week, I brought in the big guns... P90X. Wowee! I am stoked. It seriously is the closest I have gotten to Rudy Smoked since the end of the program for me. I'm all over it. I see now why people get the results they get with this thing.

Next up, I am saving for ChaLean extreme, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I will get to workout with her in May and one of these days, I will get my butt back to Tamarack! I need that challenge and I miss everyone.
