End of Week 1.... Almost !

Just got Kenpo left to do this afternoon, then that's the first week over with. And I cant wait to get going on Week 2. The calf problem aside, I have remembered how much I love the ache of training again, and want more.
I am also remembering how much I enjoyed being fitter,  and thrive to feel that way again.

I did better in all rounds than expected, and no nausea yet, but that could be down to the sensible pace I have approached this round with.

Bands only, but stronger ones ARE needed soon. No jerky weights for me and my ageing joints this time. Diet is as before,  nothing strict but keeping it clean too.

So a nice soak in the bath now, then a relaxing afternoon,  and hitting Kenpo this evening.  For week 2 I might actually stay with evening workouts.

Broken legs

Ok, not broken but non functional at least.
I woke this morning with excruciating pain in my right calf muscle and spent most of the day trying to loosen things up.
Day 5 of course is legs and back,  but common sense says give the legs a break. 
So, day 5, back!
Hoping to be fighting fit, pun intended,  for Kenpo tomorrow

A long time coming

Well its been a while,  lots of ups and downs of recent months all finishing up with the passing of my aunt.  The last of a generation,  the final link when it comes to caring for a relative.

Will stress and anxiety behind me a new beginning is called for,  and what better way to do it than caring for myself once again.

P90X is my starting block once again, and will signal the return to fitness for me once more. Fit by the time we travel to Florida I hope.

So it all started yesterday and my mind feels like it is in the right place to do something spectacular,  so I am hoping I can commit the same way I did last year. Maybe with some added spice of Les Mills Combat to really set things on fire.

Watch this space,  and please offer at motivation you can, im forty now, I need it haha.
