Basement Yoga with a Complaining 6-year-old

I paid another visit to Yoga with Adriene, but I made the mistake of inviting my daughter.

SO much complaining.  "This isn't yoga!  She's building abs!   It hurts so much!"

Really kept me from finding my centre, or whatever the hell you're supposed to do with yoga.

It was one of the ones labelled Yoga for Weight Loss.  Not tracking it down.  You can find it if you want, imaginary reader.

Regina Boxing Club: Morning Sore-y

I got some new shoes.  I don't think it's gonna work out between us.


A. Work and Skip


40 seconds of various exercises, followed by skipping for 30-40 seconds or so.


-Wall sits
-jumping squats
-jumping jacks
-plank holds
-push-ups
-burpees


I may be missing some.  At this point my feet were both really hurting.  I think it's the new shoes.  After 7 years or so of INOV-8 barefoot style sneakers, even the Vibram Minimus soles on the NB's I bought seemed to not agree with my feet. I'm basically a monkey now.






B. Bag work
-standard combinations then partner up . Partner hits the bag in the 1-5 combos, you do a lap.  Then switch.


C. Rapid fire punching and sprinting


Punch Partner's hands 10 times then spring across the gym and back.  Partner does a squat hold while you sprint.  Then switch.  Two times each.
