Tuesday evening we went to women's self defense and it was just me and the kid- so the class was pretty focused on us. It was nice to get that one on one from the coaches and get our technique down. Afterwards I stayed for yoga (rnd 2) and I feel like I did better. After class the teacher came over and said she was happy to see me back and that I'm doing well, just keep modifying as much as I need to. So that was really a boost. She's very nice.
Today class seemed exceptionally long! And I feel fully to blame. Warm up was 4x 200 m run (I walk still) and then 10 sumo dead weight high pulls (?) where you kind of squat, grab a bar with no weight on it and then lift it up to your chin and back down. After that dreadful warm up it was working on handstand push ups. For me- knee push ups. so I did 20 of those.
Then we start the actual work out. 4x 500 m rows with 3 mins rest in between each set. I scored 2:21, 2:31, 2:34, and 2:31 cause I was really pushing on that last one. It was horrid! But everyone was really nice and they encourage you to get to the finish line. Nicely- not how some people think they're nice but really are rude and demeaning. So it's really refreshing. Workout's over? No, no, no! Ha! You still need to work on your core! Ugh. So the rest of the class did knee to elbow things on the bars- like a weird monkey thing that's not a pull up but still looks hard. I did 50 sit ups. Yes they were brutal. Yes, I'll be hurting most of the day and probably into this weekend! We finished out by stretching so hopefully that will alleviate some of those naughty cramps one may get. And now it's back to work. I feel like the big engine that could :)
