sweat

I-sensei was in fine form again tonight. He set up a circuit for the first half of class. A series of 1-minute routines with 5 second breaks:

1. bench steps (right foot up on the bench, left on the floor. Push off with the right foot on the bench, lifting the whole body up to bench level, switch feet, putting the left foot on the bench and the right on the floor. Repeat.)
2. running in place with 1 kilo weights in each hand, knees and elbows high
3. straight sit ups
4. right side sit ups
5. left side sit ups
6. straight sit ups
7. right side sit ups
8. left side sit ups
9. left-right punching heavy bag, full speed, from the hips, up on the balls of the feet
10. left-right kicking heavy bag, as soon as the kicking foot touches down, kick with the other foot
11. sky-divers (lie on your stomach. Lift hands and feet off the ground in sky-diver position, lower and raise without stopping.)
12. push ups

After this lovely warmup we paired off and did mitt work working kick and punch combos.
I think I lost 2 kilos in sweat alone.
