YES MAM'

Lastnights workout was Combat Fitness at East West Karate. Zachary started karate there in September and what a difference in him (granted last couple of weeks have been rough but... ). His teachers even noticed a difference in his focus at school - AWESOME!!

Well I started taking their Combat Fitness classes for teen/adults and awesome awesome workouts. The beginning of the class is conditioning... whoop whoop (yes I'm sick I love conditioning workouts).  Last night she switched it up - first 10 minutes was a warm up - run, wall chairs (where you put your back against the wall and squat down) feel the burn feel the burn. We did the wheel barrow with a partner - which is great both directions - as the wheel barrow - its all upper body to hold yourself up and walk across the mat - on the way back its all upper again again to hold your partner. I held my core tight to also give my abs a workout.

In the middle of class we learned a new technique (which I'm not even going to try to spell - Dawn will need to chime in for that) and well you hold certain poses long enough you feel the burn in your legs or when you chamber your arm back the correct way you feel it across your arm, shoulders, and back!!

End of class she followed up with some sit ups - first with a partner - wrap your ankles together and clap hands when you come up - then we had to so them separate - I totally need to work my core more!!!

So a big YOU ROCK to Dawn for being the awesome person she is and taking her knowledge and sharing  it with us!!!
