Personal Fitness Goals

and assault in most countries....

 

So after 12 days off because of pneumonia I went back to work this past Monday. Yoga and Martial Arts instructors often talk about how much energy it takes to teach Yoga, Tai Chi, Karate, Judo, Taekwando and Qigong classes and I have to agree with them. This has been the hardest week I've had in a long time. Normally I have tons of energy even when I teach 3-4 hours a day but this week I am really slow off the mark. It's a good thing that I know my programs so well because if I had to rely on my brain at any time I would have been very disappointed. The upside was I missed doing yoga, tai chi and qigong while I was sick so coming back to my classes was really good because of the stretching. If you don't stretch everyday you're doing yourself a disservice. My brother was an ultra racer, running 75-150 kms in each race. He asked me to help him set up a good daily stretching routine for his running because he lamented that other runners don't stretch on the days when they're not practising or running in an event. If you don't already you should introduce a short program that will stretch your muscles, ligaments and tendons every day from your toes up to your head. I can guarantee that you will feel better each time you stretch and then you'll feel even better, looser and not as tight when you workout.

What do you do for stretching?

 

My head or the spoon?

 

If we were really bad we got hit by my dad. Which was worse than an iron skillet.

The man was nearly 6’7 and over 300lbs. Once saw him punch a horse that had kicked him. And the horse went down.

 

OhmyGOD I'm dying ... LMAOOO Bww you get the award for comedic genius this week!!

 

Jesus. Why do I have an image of your Dad being short in my head?
6'7 is an absolute monster. I have NEVER seen anyone that tall in real life. It makes me sad.

Hey I put a horse down once!! Wanna know how?

 

both! hahahahhahaha

 

BF-glad to see you up and around and feeling better! ;o)

 

Thanks Cat!

 

Your dad was Mongo...?
