thanks for the burpees

bah. yesterday's training was the toughest so far.

it began with a total body warmup, 2 minute interval with as many superman burpees as possible. come to think of it, i should have just done 10 per interval. but i wanted to push, so i did about 25 each.

then came bagwork. by then my shoulders were screaming "NO NO STOP" and i could've swore the bag was laughing at me saying "Is that all you got?" 3 sets of the 3 minute drill.

next was the kicks. my favourite, until it came to "OK, we'll do 100 kicks per leg." i thought it was alright, but by the time we finished with the right round houses, something new was given.

now it was doing punches. 2 sets of 3 minute double jabs, 1 set of 3 minute jab plus hook, 1 set of 3 minute double left hook, and finally ended off with a set of 3 minute straight punch plus uppercut combo. at the end of it all, i had trouble trying to scratch my damn nose.

and eventually, training ended with a kick exercise, kicking each other's arm, gently... right kicks, left kicks, switching kicks...

however i decided to stay on and do an additional 10 minutes worth of bagwork, left jab right hook, left jab straight right, left jab right roundhouse. and now, come to think of it, i shouldn't have done that.

i woke up today, barely able to bend my arms at the elbows. yes, pain, thanks to the superman burpees. gosh i can barely lift up anything even now. so please children, take care of ye hands while they still work fine, who knows you may need then to scratch ye nose or the back of ye neck.

thanks for the burpees ah.
