10/31/09 HALLOWEEN!! Saturday:
walked about a mile trick or treatng with my friend lol =)
11/1/09 Sunday:
Threw in 15 sit-ups and10 push-ups just for the sake of not having to say 'nothing' again and feel like I accomplished a little =)
11/2/09 Monday:
6-7: karate: good workout, didn't teah =) wazas, then self-defense, worked up a very good sweat, the sensei that freally works s for our worth taught so it was very nice
oh yea, by the way if anybody can think of any really good lower abdominal workouts and post them it would be much apprecoted. I've found some good overall abdominal ones but I really wanna focus on LOWER abs thanks =)

11/3/09 Tuesday:
Gym class: combined probably about 10-15 minutes of running
Ran back from my old elementary school, i'm not totally sure on how far of a distance it is but im 100% sure it's a minimum of a half a mile, took me about 5 minutes, normally takes me 8, i also had better control of my breathing and I wasn't so tired so I'm seeing that as very good =)
4:30-5:30 Karate: 1st 20 mintues I taught, for about 10 of that I was actually working out, then for the next 10 i was just correcting people, then for the last 40 moinutes I did weapons defense with 3 other guys, extremely tiring, if this helps to give you an idea 2 of the guys were about 6 foot 1 and the other is a few inches taller than me, but is a black belt, and they were pretty much just trying to kill me...by the end I could barely stand
I feel pretty accomplished for today
11/4/09 Wednesday:
6-7 Karate: warm-ups/stretching, simple wazas, then karate, eh o.k workout
7-8:30 Aiki: more brutal than usual, pretty sore right now, I worked with a black belt about six inches taller than me, really had to work to get him down, and he was chucking me into the ground haha =) very fun and also painful

11/5/09 Thursday:
didn't go to school, was sick, no working out
11/6/09 Friday:
had gym class: for the 1st 20 minutes we played a game of frog tag (basically tag but when you are caught you have to lay down and in order to be back in you have to be carried back to a specific spot on the gym floor) didn't get caught once =) and we did a jump rope activity for the last 20 minutes of class
11/7/09 Saturday:
9-10 Aiki: did very light and easy movements today, didn't take too much effort
10-11 Karate: Warm-ups/stretching, then just simple technique review and combinations for the rest of class.
11/8/09 Sunday:
nothing..felt like crap
11/9/09 Monday:
6-7 karate: very very hard class, we went inbetween doign 3 minutes of bag work to about 3 minutes of kata, back and forth without stopping for about 20 minutes of the class, then we did self-defense with partners. very very tiring, but so very nice.
11/10/09: Tuesday:
nothing, still sick, didn't go to school..sinus infections r horrible.
i have been feeling so bad (physically) lately, on a super strong antibiotic for a sinus infection, I can feel it starting to help me feel better slowly, i'll hopefully get back into the workout routine soon. I noticed ive been 'training' for just over a month now, and don't really feel i've gotten as much accomplished as I thought I would have at this point when i first started keeping this log. Have a lot going on in life, that may be contributing to it, but I really really feel that I will be able to start regularly training and conditioning soon in hopes of getting a lot more done.

11/11/09 Wednesday:
I went running, I did the usual short route, took about 4 mintues, i jogged for about 3.5 mintues of that the only .5 of a min i didn't was cuz I needed to put up my hair haha
After that I I this one walk that is about 3.6 miles long, that took me 26 minutes, yes, i know a very very very bad time, I was just startying to take an antibiotic for a sinus infection, and didn't do my inhaler so I was walking about 75% of the time. Next time I do that same run my goal is to cut down the time by at least 3 mintues.
6-7 Karate: did a warm-up that was more like a work-out lol then for the rest of the class we worked good sparring combinations, sadly we didn't spar though =(
7-8:30 Aiki: light movements, not too bad, my wrists were extremely sore thought since we were doing mostly wrist locks
11/12/09 Thursday:
Gym: 30 minutes of 2 variations of tag, didn't get out at all, was full speed running (small gym+fast runners=good workout), last 10 minutes we did more jump rope stuff
11/13/09 Friday:
8-10 ICE SKATING!!: one of the best things about living in New York, it was vveerrryyyyy fun!! I only took a 10 minute break, I wanna go like everyday haha =) love it
11/14/09 Saturday:
[color=]9-11: Aiki, very easy stuff, wasz basically warm up for the grappling clinic[/color]
11-1:Grappling Clinic: This was also insane amounts of fun, I loved it and I loearned a lot about grappling, I htink i might do more stuff with wrestling and stuff liek that in the future =) I was also complimented by the person leading the clinic, he said that I was one hell of a martial artist ad he was very impressed with what I could do expecially for a 13 year old =) Very good day =)

11/15/09 Sunday:I was actually gonna go training and conditioning but there were people at the playgrounds I was planning 2 go 2, so I ended up jsut walking aroudn for about 45 minutes...i also figured out that I REALLY REALLY need to work on upperbody strengthening.
11/16/09 Monday:
6-7: karate: I led warm-ups so I didn't really do too much then, mainly just corrected people, led stretching, and came up with wazas to do. After that for about 45 mintues we did review of the grappling, was working on people smaller than me, so it wasn't really all too hard,barely broke a sweat =)

10/22/09 Sunday:
right before bed did 10 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, and 10 russian twists. I know..not much.
10/23/09 Monday:
6-7 karate: O me gosh!! isanely awesome kareate calss, we did sparring, but in patners so that we were constantly fighting someone =) I got paired with 3 people about my size, one smaller than me, and one A LOT bigger than me, so it all evens out
10/24/09 Tuesday:
4:30-5:30 karate: egh, for the 1st half an hour I just did review with the white belts, not that hard, then just self-defense, but I was working with someone a lot smaller than me so it was insanely easy.
I wanted to do more, but I was just so tired but I'm on Thanksgiving break, so hopefully I'll get to do some more working out over the break....I still don't really feel that I've 'started training' so I'm really really striving to accomplish that before the end of November.

11/25/09 Wednesday:
6-7 karate: we did about the same thing as on Monday, I sparred with 2 people bigger than me, and 3 about my size, we only did that for about 20 minutes, then after that we just did kata and self-defense with partners. Pretty good class, and the person that owns the dojo I go to said that classes would be getting harder, and we would be doing mroe sparring exercises, so that's always good =)
7-8 Aiki: I could only stay for the first hour, but it was really good that I came to this class, we reviewed some basics, but they were the types of basics that aren't commonly reviewed...if you get what I'm going towards, so it was nice, my partner was my size, so that helped a lot. That's all I think
11/26/09 Thursday:
I know I am posting this the day after thanksgiving but HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
After stuffing my face I felt I should probably do some kind of a workout sssoooo.....
Stretching
APK Warm-up minus the pull-ups
5 wall dips
17 push-ups
l-sit for as long as possible (0:12, 0:13, 0:13)
3 1-handed push-ups (per side)
(3 rounds)
Wait about 3 minutes
4 finger-tip push-ups
20 crunches
10 russian twists
(2 rounds)
10 burpees
15 step-ups (per side)
End with stretching and 15 squats and 5 push-ups
I plan on doing this same work-out in two weeks to see how much I have impovred on (ex: longer l-sit, being able to accomplish at least 1 more of everything on the list,etc.)

11/27/09 Friday:nothing....ive decided I don't want to skip any days when I don't do anything so that I can see exactly how many days I've been doing nothing on (since I've put certain activities as certain colors) just by quickly looking at it and glancing at the colors. 11/28/09 Saturday:9-10 Aiki: more basics review, very easy, was with a girl my size so that helped a lot. 10-11 Karate:mainly did self-defense combinations with partners, switched around and worked with a lot of different people, ranging from my size to much bigger than me (most of them were bigger than me  ) thats all I think..pretty easyO yea, also went for an hour long walk with 1 of my friends, wudve ran sum of it, but she didnt want 2 haha

11/29/09 Sunday:
5 min. light jog as warm-up
QM-ed for about 5 minutes
6 negatives
5 inverted rows
20 'steps' (or whatever you wanan call them) of support shimmy
10 Push-up variations, they're kind of like plyo pushups, except instead of putting both ur hands up at the same time, you put them on the wall seperately, so foer example it goes: pushup, right hand on wall, left hand on wall, take off right hand, take off left hand, pushup....and so on.
10 Skull Crushers
About 45 minutes of vaulting attempts, handstands, rolls, precisions, balance work, and wall runs.
5 min. jog home as cool down
I realized from this that I REALLY NEED to work on vaults, besides that I saw some improvement in everything.
EDIT: I also figured out I could do a freestanding handstand push-up, but only one per handstand, so I'm gonna work on that.
Afterwards I went on a 45 minute walk with my mom and sister.
11/30/09 Monday:
Gym Class: for roughly 30 minutes we played volleyball, and I normally wouldn't put that on, except my partner had me literally running around the entire gym the whole ckass because she couldn't pass the ball to me lol
6-7: Karate: As warm-ups we did 2 laps around the dojo jogging, two facing the inside, two facing the outside, and 3 jogging backwards, also 10 dive-bomber push-ups, and stretching. Then we did lines for the rest of the class doing kick, punch combinations.

Sweating doesn't always indicate a good workout. I rarely sweat at the beginning of wrestling practice, but I can assure you it's a good workout. What you are doing might not be causing your body to heat up, therefore it has no need to sweat and cool itself down. |
