So, it's been a while.
Well, I have kept working out, so my count on Twitter should be more around 50 than whatever it's at now. But the better thing is - I'm now enrolled in a Fitness Bootcamp and I'm back at Karate!
The Fitness Bootcamp runs for 6 weeks and meets 3 times a week. I also got my measurements from it, so I can upload those on the other page after I post this.
Karate, now, that's a different story. I'm returning to the same club after 9 years or so of absence. Going back, I'm meeting back up with a lot of old faces - old peers who are now black belts (something like a "graduate") or full senseis (meaning "teacher" in Japanese, and one of the highest ranks attainable in Karate - distinguished by their black belt and black gi or uniform) - and rediscovering my passion for the art. I'm finding now that I can use it as a tool to develop more of a focused mindset as well as developing my self-awareness.
Not to mention I sweat like a pig after one kata (a flow of movements - called the "dance" of karate by my sempai, or "senior" in Japanese).
My workout schedule is something I'm getting very excited about.
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
| Bootcamp | Karate | Bootcamp | Rest/Gym | Bootcamp | Karate | Rest/Gym |
On the gym days, I'll likely just do a light cardio and full stretch routine.
Here's to coming back in 6 weeks changed in body and mind!
