Ow.

Third day at the gym and it was the kwando class.  And true to his word, a grinning George was watching towards the end. :P  Kwando ... it's different.  Jennifer who runs the class likes that I have TKD training but told me that the best thing to do is to keep the idea of the body from TKD but to let go of the forms.  The kicks are different, they throw punches that would make Khan wince - but it's not about form.  They aren't teaching us to defend ourselves, it's a cardio class.

It's a cardio class that kicked my butt.

I'm going to stick with it and see what comes of it.  I need a better bra, though. *cuddles chest*  Sweet Jesus, that hurt.

I also like that since it was at 9:30, I've got my entire day in front of me.  I need to eat, shower and do some cleaning; errands need to be run.  After that, though, I think it's me time.  Todd's floating around here but the other two roommates are gone so I'll put on a movie or something once I'm done cleaning and errands are done.

3 days so far, I'm hurting but I feel good about myself. Let's see if I can stick it through.  Taking the next two days off and I've got my official personal training session on Tuesday night at 7.

Good for you! And yeah, it's hard to remember that cardio is just cardio - I took a kickboxing class where the guy really cared about form, and then one where it really didn't matter. :) Stick with it - and if you're looking for a bra, I've always loved Lululemon, as they have full-support ones that work really well (there's one in Bethesda).

And the elliptical trainer you were on yesterday - that's one of my favourites. I need to work out more.

I'm glad you liked it - if you have not, take a hot shower. You're going to HAAATTEEE yourself tomorrow if you don't. Also lots and lots of water, Miss Missy.

Re: kicks - think of it as different kicks, same names. It'll help you separate what you learned at Khan's from the cardio stuff.

Go team monkey! *cheer*

What Karen said. Shower, eat, water.
