Day 9/63 - July 16th, 2008 Workout - HIIT / Weights

My tattoo is almost done healing and I finally got back into the gym today for a workout. It’s been almost 10 days since my last real workout and it’s really been bugging me. I know I’m not going to instantly plump up or turn to jelly in 10 days time, but I [...]

Day 3/63 - July 10th, 2008 Workout - Walk

For yesterday’s workout I took my puppa out for a nice long walk. Ended up walking almost 90 minutes. It was a really nice night and I was listening to an audiobook on my ipod, so the time pretty much flew by.
I’m not sure what else I can say about walking… [...]

Day 2/63 - July 9th, 2008 Workout - Walk / Mini-sets

Yesterday’s workout was pretty much a copy of the day before. I got up to 7 sets of 10 push ups through the day and was up to 15 pull ups and 15 chin ups. I was doing more pull ups when my pull up bar slipped off the door frame.
I came down [...]

Day 1/63 - July 8th, 2008 Workout - Walk/Mini-sets

Yesterday was the first day of my new challenge. Since I’m not able to get a proper workout, I’ve cut down what I’m eating a tiny bit - with a daily deficit of about 800 calories rather than around 500. This will only be for the next week as I should be able [...]

9 Week Challenge - Part 2!

A couple of weeks ago I finished a 9 week challenge that my Muay Thai school: Kombat Arts held. I tracked my progress pretty faithfully and that lead to me making some good improvements in all the areas we tested. I really liked the idea of having a set of numbers to strive [...]

Day 61/63 - End of the 9 Week Challenge

In an hour I’m going to go weigh in and test for the end of the Kombat Arts 9 week challenge. Today I went through all my journal entries over the last 9 weeks to review what worked for me and what didn’t. I can say without a doubt that the last 9 [...]

Day 60/63 - June 21st, 2008 Workout - Weights / Running / Muay Thai

Tomorrow is the weigh in and testing for the 9 week challenge. That makes today the last workout day. I went to the Mental Toughness seminar today, so I wasn’t able to go to the usual 2 hour Muay Thai class. Instead, I did a combination of weights/running/Muay Thai.
When the seminar went [...]

Day 58/63 - June 19th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

I have a lot of work to catch up on tonight, so I went in for the 5:00 Muay Thai class instead of Konditioning so I’d be home earlier. It was a smaller class and we did mostly cross-fighting drills.
The one thing I noticed right away was that after going through sparring class, normal [...]
