I'm off the 50 day plan, and I'll post about it this weekend. With my black belt test quickly approaching I'm adding more kung fu exercises into my conditioning workouts while keeping close to the 50 day schedule. Here was last night's workout and it was a killer.
- 25 pushups, it can't be all legs
- 10 CK jumps. (ass to grass monkey stance, jump up, spin 180 degrees and land in a horse stance)
- Alternating side blue bird lunge jumps back and forth across the lawn
- 400m sprint
Times 4
I didn't want to add any of the technical jumping kicks because of injury risk, but these jumps are some of the hardest in my katas so far, especially the CK jumps. 10 of those (5 each side) back to back and my legs were burning.
For a finisher on all that, I carried my waterball around my backyard with my arms wrapped around it like I was grabbing someone from behind, which was about 8 times. I probably could have gone longer, but my back was getting fatigued more then anything and I was worried about pulling something.
