Day 15
3x 3x5 minutes MMA shadow sparring.
alternated between shadow sparring and ground work with my rolled up mat.
also did some pull ups and stuff but wasn't really counted. probably did about 30-50 because i did 5 every time i passed my chin up bar.

Day 14
Private session was called off today, re-booked for Saturday though.
3x5 minutes MMA shadow sparring
i switched between shadow sparring and grappling/ground and pound with my rolled up exercise mat.
1 mile cycling
50 hindu squats
5 minutes cycling
1st mile was on gear 1 and was completed in roughly 3 minutes 40 seconds (i went all out)
the 5 minutes was on gear 10 and the aim was to see how far i could get. i got to over a half mile.
Needless to say i needed a few minutes after the squats. My aim is to eventually get to a mile in 5 minutes. This almost killed me.
20 bicycle crunches
20 dorsal raises
20 leg raisers
20 dorsal raises
5 improvised ab wheels
5 hanging leg raisers
20 good mornings
30 kayak twists
x2
had to put my hands under my bum eventually, on leg raisers
improvised ab wheels were done with dumbbells but they didn't roll probably, so i had to roll them on my forearms which hurt a bit.

Skills vs basics
Hi all!
i've recently hit a dilemma in my training. i don't know whether to do these class's or do exercises at home. The classes aren't extremely hard at all, but they do make me ache from all the grappling, meaning i can't exercise for that day.
So its either be skill full but not incredibly fit or be really fit but not incredibly skill full.
So here's my solution:
do a private session that only focuses on skills once a week, so it doesn't over exert me, so i can still train.
But unfortunantly its incredibly expensive. 30 pounds an hour. So i'm only going to do it every other week, starting tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes!

Day 12
i go to a table tennis class on Fridays and useally train before as it goes on till 9 but i stupidly locked myself out of the house and barely made it in time for table tennis.
Table tennis 2 hours 30 minutes
Defo doing a full day tomorrow as it's been quite relaxed for days in a row.
2 posts lined up that aren't daily training
BYE

Day 10
sorry i haven't posted the last 3 days, i've been quite busy.
I don't really remember what i did on wednesday but it was at least some grappling but wasn't done with a timer so these numbers are an estimate
10 minutes grappling
10 minutes shadow sparring
I know it would make sense to just do 1 post called day 10,11 and 12 but i have a little thing about doing a post a day.

did another class today, box wrestling.
we started with a little warm ups and then did a round or two of:

mountain climbers
roughly twenty seconds per exercise
then we did some mitt work, working certain combos, etc.
then we did
20 seconds burpies (with sprawl)
20 seconds push ups
20 seconds non-stop straights
x2
then
20 seconds squats
20 seconds bicycle crunches
20 seconds non stop hooks

20 seconds non stop boxing (any strikes)
x2
then we did some boxing and then wrestling
30 seconds non stop hitting
30 seconds grappling

then we finished with a cool down. I may not be the best there technically as this is only my 2nd time going but i think i surprised them with my stamina and strength.

Day 7
5+ miles cycling
went roughly 7-10mph for the first 2.5 miles, then stepped it up to 9-12mph until 4.3 miles, where i cranked it out at 12-15mph. Also every mile i went all out for 15 seconds, then went as fast as i could for another 15 seconds, while shadow boxing hard. The reason it says '+' is i did the all out at the 5 mile mark and then did some light cycling as a coold down for a few minutes, so it was more like 5.2/3 miles. Was on gear 3/10 for all of it. Not going to raise the distance untill i can do it on gear 10. This wasn't too hard. I reckon i could finish this on at least gear 5.
3x15 concentration curls (each)
30 tricep extensions
30 tricep dips
25 tricep extensions
15 front raises
15 lateral raises
20 DB rows (each)
8 shoulder presses
x2
20 Fedor punches
1 min plyo push ups
1 min crab walking
1 min punching with bands
50 strikes to heavy bag
x2
3 mins skipping
3 mins heavy bag work
3 mins dodging practice
x3
meant to do more skipping but my left leg wasn't feeling right. I got my mum to throw tennis balls at me for the dodging practice. I didn't have to dodge most of them but she still didn't hit me once, from roughly 2 metres away. Wasn't really feeling it today, not sure why.
