10/5/09 Monday:

karate 6-7: today for one hour. As warm-ups we did 75 jumping jacks, 10 pushups, 5 leg lifts, and 20 crunches. Then after that we did just easy stuff like simple wazas and combinations. Thats all for today.

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.

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.

YES!! CONGRATULATIONS!

10/14/09

6-7:karate: i only have one word to say...brutal
7-8:30:aiki: I was pretty much falling asleep during this, I didn't really want to get up off the floor lol

10/15/09
nothing...again...feel like crap, gotta love anemia, hopeuflly i'll be feeling more up to things once I actually start taking my vitamins again like I should be

10/18/09
nothing, was extremely busy adn didn't have time to do anything

10/19/09
6-7: karate: very good workout, did bag work and self-defense with partners 

once I'm done with my homework I'll hopefully do a quick workout...update later, I havent had any time to go running, hopefully on thursday or something

Ewww the pacer. Such a boring test. I usually get around 55, and then I get so bored I just stop .

wow..ive been horrible about updating this =S anyways:

10/24/09 Saturday:
Aiki 9-10: felt like my wrists were just gonna fall right off, pretty good workout, did biometric push-ups, hoping to find out more about biometrics, i know it's been mentioned on here a lot but never quite understood it, i understand it a lot better now =)
Karate10-11: the usual, warm-ups, stretching, blah blah blah
30 minutes of handstand work

10/25/09 Sunday:
ran/jogged/walked for about 15 minutes, did a lot more running/jogging than the other day, same route.

15 mintues later:
also did about an hour of precisions, vaults, handstands, balancing, and wall runs...didn't do it all at once, extended throughout about 3 hours, was hanging out with ym friend, that's why it's so widespread

10/26/09 Monday:
Karate 6-7: first 20 minutes did stretching and warm-u[ (100 jumping jacks, 20push-ups and 25 sit-ups then stretching), last 40 minutes did kata work, may not look like a good workout,but it is..anyways for anyone who doesn't know, kata is just an already organized set of combinations/moves put together in a logical order...well..thats the best way I can think of describing it =)
Gym class: ran a little, combined did probably about 10 minutes..incredibly easy

10/27/09 Tuesday:
Sick, stayed home from school, didn't do any working out

10/28/09 Wednesday:
Karate 6-7: warm-ups (50 jumping jakcs, 30 sit-ups, 10 pushups, strectching) then simple wazas, self-defense, and combinations for the rest of the class...first 30 minutes of class I was being active, last 30 I wasn't since I was teaching and mainly just correcting people
Aiki 7-8:30: typical aiki class...started with rolling/falls then worked throws, I was ssooo tired I was ready 2 just curl up on the mats and sleep..core muscles killed

10/29/09 Thursday:
Rest Day, mainly just really busy

yes, i ahev thought about trying some pull-ups, i was thinking of next time I go out running trying at least one lol
and yes, i already know how to roll, thanks to aiki,but in aiki we practice rolling/falling on mats, but the last time i was out training i actually did about 5 rolls on cement just from standing and I was very comfortable with them, and didn;t hurt myself, which is always a good thing 

10/30/09: Friday
Nothing again, I know, i really need to start doing more stuff
