Just a few questions:
-Are your lunges weighted? Your Russian twists?
-what's a reverse crunch?

no, neither of those are weighted
and for reverse crunches you lay flat on your back legs straight out in front of you, then slowly bring your legs in to y our chest then push out and without setting your feet down just repeat thst motion

Today I had karate and aiki-jutsu class. The Karate was an hour and the aiki was an hour and a half. In karate we sparred a little and did somemore self-defense stuff. In aiki it was a normal aiki class...getting chucked at the ground repeatedly then getting 2 throw other people. It's incredibly fun but very tiring, especially when you're just repeatedly getting up off the floor for an hour and a half. That's pretty much all for today. I am hopefully gonna go running tomorrow.

I totally here you about getting thrown over and over. After a while the side you fall on starts to go numb  . |

yea the next day is sometimes the worst, when your hands, arms, and sides all kill then you have gym class and you're playing football. Not too fun
10/08/09
Rest day today. I was going to go running but was so tired I just didn't feel like doing anything besides school.

10/20/09 Tuesday
4:30-5:30: karate: I taught, we did warm-ups (50 jumpinh jacks, 10 pushups, 35 sit-ups and stretching), simple wazas for 20 minutes. I just watched/taught/corrected things, not much of workout really. Last 15 minutes did kata, never stop moving so that was the most-workout-ish part
20 minutes of jump-roping in gym class
10/21/09 Wednesday
6-7: karate: for the first 40 minues I taught and besdies warm-up I didn't really do too much, just showing each waza (combination) once or twice. Last 20 minutes did review and self-defense, pretty good work-out then.
7:00-8:30:Aiki...the usual, my right wrist feels like it's gonna fall off, slightly sore, but again, very good workout.
10/22/09 Thursday
Pacer Test in gym class today, did pretty good, by the way, the pacer test is basically where you have to run from one end of the gym to the other whenever this recording beeps, and each 7 times it beeps the time you get goes down by a half a second.
10/23/09 Friday
Today I did the pacer test again, it was a make-up one, didn't need to but I wanted to
Also ran/jogged/walked for about 8 minutes, did about 10 minutes of kong practice, then some rain really started to kick up so I decided to head back, then I ran/jogged 8 minutes back home
