Pneumatised!

Saturday, November 26

A former taekwondo instructor of mine started teaching hapkido classes, so Nathan and I went to try a class out. It was interesting. Some different kicks that aren’t taught in taekwondo these days. Of course, we practiced some breakfall rolls. Fun, but very hard work. I was getting a little dizzy. Hehe.

Monday, November 28

A busy day for me.

I went for a run to Park Road and Bloor Street for a warm-up run. My time was 4 minutes 34 seconds. Then I ran home from Yonge and Bloor going north on Yonge to Church, then down church to home. My time was 8 minutes 16 seconds.

Later, I went to the do jang to practice some patterns and some advanced kicking. I went to the gym after I was done at the do jang.

Leg press
Hamstring flexor
Hip adductors
Hip abductors
Pull-ups (again military and parallel)
Dips
Chest press
Bar pulls (works the muscles next to the scapulae on the back)
Pectoral press
Shoulder fly
Shoulder lift
Bicep curl
Tricep extensor
Leg lifts
Back extensor

As my brachiali were still sore, I didn’t do many reps on the bicep curl. I skipped out on pushups and stretching and went home. I was feeling moody, my knee was bothering me probably because of the rain, and the rainy day was dampening my spirits. On top of it all I wanted to get home to finish reading my book.

Wednesday, November 30

I went to the do jang again for taekwondo class. I did manage to take class this time. Then I went to the gym after.

Leg press
Hamstring flexor
Hip adductors
Hip abductors
Pull-ups (again military and parallel)
Dips
Chest press
Bar pulls (works the muscles next to the scapulae on the back)
Pectoral press
Shoulder fly
Shoulder lift

I didn’t do all my workout at the gym. I decided to go home and do some more exercises there. Using free weights, I did the bicep curls and some extra shoulder exercises. I worked on the back muscles (lie down on the ground on the stomach and lift the upper body off the ground). I did some pushups since I’ve been taking it too easy on that lately.

Thursday, December 1

I missed class at the do jang. I hadn’t been in the mood for gumdo lately. Too much on my mind. I basically went in to practice for the demo.

Sunday, December 4

I went for a quick run to Church and Bloor then back home. My time for the run was 8 minutes 27 seconds.
