Action packed Tuesday, exactly what I was looking for after a relatively light Monday. Gym was nice quiet so I managed to get a reasonable number of exercises in using my usual 4 x 10 rep method I worked mainly on my arms and shoulders with some crunches thrown in for good measure.
Arriving at Coalville early I went for a 3 mile run with Ross, managed to keep pace with him until the last 1000 meters when he kicked his heels and got some distance on me. Clearly he is the SBBA Cardio machine at the moment, on the running front. I felt like I was really flagging at the end of the run, again I reckon this is down to a lack of running practice, but I’m in far better shape now than 1 month ago. With the weather improving I’m looking forward to to nice long runs with the guys from Stealth, in preparation for my 2nd dan grading in November.
On returning to the studio I had a few minutes rest before heading into the gym. Again using my favourite 10 x 4 method I played with some other exercises which I cant easily do in the gym due to the equipment and time restraints. These included incline dumbbell flys, v’s around the world, standing dumb bell presses and stading cable push downs.
A quick change and a squirt of deo and its straight into the S/K beginners class. Working on this weeks drills, the class consisted of partner work and practicing the drills on the wave masters. All of which kept the heart rate high before craig introduced the newest exercises in abs family! Brilliant, hard work and whacky a definite for Barwell Wednesday night!
To finish the marathon off, was kata class. With Craig and Keiran I ran over one of my second dan patterns, which I have since found out.. I have to do at the fight nigh! Great! practice practice practice then!
Oh and Just to cap off a cracking day, Sesnei Craig Smith after 2 years of trying has managed to get our instructors course nationally recognised for nvq level 2. Making The Stealth Black Belt Academy the only Martial arts club we know of to have a nationally recognised qualification as well as a federation specific one! Woohoo pad out that CV!
