Tae Kwon Do, Turkish Getups

Great TKD workout. Did a lot of floor work.

I fought hard but I need to work on shrimping. I know TGU can help with that, so I did a 10 minute set of 24kg TGU.

tossed in some Pull ups and some chin ups for good measure.

Insnaity Plyometric Cardio

did Plyo w/ the missus today.
She enjoyed it, so hopefully we'll keep this tradition going.

I will still focus on kettlebell strength routines in preparation for my HKC cert in January.

Finally recovered from a nasty stomach bug that was probably floating around the airport.

I just changed my HKC cert to one in January w/ my Fav RKC, Keira Newton.
Originally I was going to do an April HKC cert. As such I am dropping the Insanity Cardio Program so that my kettlebell form and conditioning is in place for the cert.

On deck for the next 2 months?

  • Turkish Get-Ups
  • Goblet Squats
  • VO2Max Snatch Conditioning
