Day 5 :heavy_check_mark:

It was leg day at bag class yesterday morning. 60 minutes of 2 & 3 minute rounds, 15/30 seconds of combatives against the bag with 15/30 second intervals of leg & core exercises.

Lunges, deep lunge pulses, squats, deep squat pulses with front kicks, round kicks, figure 8 moguls, toe taps, constant body shots loading with the legs, face-up superman hold with knee to elbow cross taps, push-ups to supermans, and a handful of other leg- and core-focused exercises… I love it. Good stuff.

That is impressive! I found that the heavy bag training that I did for a while was a remarkably fast and effective full body workout, but it can be injury-inducing if it is not done correctly.

Thankfully the instructors at the gym I go to are professionals. Even so, there is a certain level of risk involved that everyone accepts responsibility for when it comes to self-defense and combat sports. When you walk in through that door, you’re accepting that there’s a 50/50 chance you’re gonna get bruised up, banged up, and sore. It’s a lifestyle choice.

Day 5 :heavy_check_mark:. The low plank is definitely more work for me than the high plank. I’m still mixing them in.

So weird to me. It’s been too long. I was very active back in the day and obviously lost my motivation to demons but I’m here killing them and freeing me🤩

I did the same lol

So in love with this line! You keep fighting that good fight :muscle:t4::clap:t4:
