    Tried to ride bike to work this morning. Crashed spectacularly. Not going to be riding it till I get paid as the front wheel is no longer quite round. Didn't get hurt too bad, just skinned elbow and knees. And my nose has more or less stopped bleeding, though every time I sneeze....

    ra the steps ar work on Thursday. Was asked not do do this any more. I know there's stair climbers at the fitness center, but I'm not sure how to squat jump on them.

    So.... Stairs rutine will have to be for Sundays exclusively, since I just don't have the time to go to the high school.

    On a side note, while researching new bicks, I found out that I can buy a 50cc scooter for much less then a decent used car. Just as soon as I got the morgage thing nailed down I'm going to buy me a little Honda scooter. $2,000 brand new, 110 MPG, dosen't require insurance or a special liscense? I'm there! I only live 6 miles from work and can get there by side roads, so this aught to work out just fine.

    And I got my first check in the mail from doing paid on-line serveys. It's boaring,tedious, and frusterating. But on the other hand, I made enough in a month to put a nice down payment on a very nice new lap top. And filling out serveys gives me something to do while watching my in-box for thread reply notifications.

    Didn't do the stairs thing this week end. one of my human style monkeys broke an arm roller blading saturday so I spent most of the weekend trying to get him to leave the splint on it till I could get him in to an orthopedic specialist. The initial x-ray interpritation was that there might be damage to the growth plate, so the doc wouldn't put it in a cast. Turn out that wht was mistaken as "possible damage" was a normal growth plate right after a growth spurt. And the Monkey did just get done shooting up, so....

    I did get something accoplished though, I built a new section of wood fence in the back yard to replace a bad section of chain link. Don't like the chain link as my mutts seem to e very good at scaling it. And then I weed whacked the whole back yard. I do have a working lawn mover, but I also have seedling grass in much of it. Weed wacker seemed the best option to takle what mature grass I have, a it wouldn't destroy the seedlings.

    It is total "balls to the wall" training and NOT for everyone.
    Typical HIIT is great and is much better than the moderate crap, but don't expect the same results as true HIIT.
    Be forewarned.
    And yes, I am a HUGE proponent of HIIT, I have some awesome HIIT workouts for MA and the heavy bag.
    None of them are for anyone that isn't ready to puke.
    Dude...you need to send me your ideas on HIIT...I'd love to augment my regimen because I HATE running as well...lately it's been taking a toll on my lower back before I get tired. Looking for alternatives.

    I've been running intervals lately...which seems to be in line with the HIIT methodology...but I'd like to see what you have laid out for the heavy bag and other fight oriented activities.

    "I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.

    It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

    Sure, I can do that, you can also go over to Ross Boxing, he has some great stuff there.
    First though you must get informed of what HIIT truly is, google Tabata protocol or go to Clarence Bass's website, he has a few artciles on HIIT too.

    Ok, this week's workout consisted of :

    Shadow boxing to a set play list (about 30 minutes long) with my boxing gloves. did this on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

    As many pushups as I could get out every day. Didn't count them as I actually seem to do more if I don't keep track. I start off in a standard full push up, then switch to girls (knees on the floor) untill I just can't do any more.

    Today consisted of helping a friend move from Gillcrest to Greeley. Yes, this counts as a work out as we moved an entier house plus a storage shed starting at 10 this morning and finishing around 6 this evening.

    I have just embarresed myself by getting a buzz off a single alca-pop. One sure way for me to know I've worked good and hard though out the week is that alcahol hitsm e very fast. Sure did taste good going down, though.

    This week is alot like last week. I did try to add hindu squats with the push-ups. I think I over did it though; my right knee has been bugging me any time I try to stretch out my gait wile walking. So I backed off that and won't be doing srairs this week end. I did start "strength training" my knee. It's more of an exorsize for the smaller supporting muscles, not sure any more what they are named. Basically I sit in a flat, hard chair that sits high enough I can comfortably rest my feet flat on the ground, then swing one leg at a time slowly back and forth untill the movement gets jerky. then switch lengs. I do this 2 times a day untill the pain is gone, then back it off to doing it a couple times a week.

    yeah well lets hope that "group" isn't "crazed serial murderer" and "train" isn't "tie you up in a basement and ball gag you".

    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I likes Wing Chun!

    went to that group thing. It ended up being in the park. Amnd since a cold front moved in last night it would have been smart of me to wear omething warmer than a t-shirt. But you know me... I didn't.

    That was a blast! Since none of the 3 of us had a similar background in the same arts, the guy who organized it led us off with some light stretching then showed us some wing chun. Just the basics really and I can't remember what he called the various movements, but they were roughly ready stance, block up, block down, and block and strike. The only stance he "showed" us was a looser version of the san chin I learned in pai lum. The best part of this format? We were working the appication of "block and punch" before the first hour was up! Very nice!
