On Week 6 and it's going great

Hello everyone, I first would like to apologize for disappearing and like to tell you all that Les Mills Combat is going great.  The first week as with most workout's is just a warm up.  You are getting used to the moves, your are shocking your body by moving in ways it has never before or moving in ways that has been a long time since.  For two of the workouts which are called Hiit (High Intensity Interval Training) they use weights.  Not heavy because you are doing a lot of reps, but you still will need some weights.  With that said a few weeks ago I got 15lbs dumbbells and they are perfect.  For the Hiit Power you do a lot of shoulder presses, clean and jerks, and rows.  With the added weight compared to the first week I feel I am getting so much more out of the Hiit Power workout.

Each week I feel that I am getting better and better.  Getting in better shape because I feel great when I am playing soccer, feeling better with the moves and especially with the kicks, and I also feel that it is time to step up to the next level with punching,  With each punch I throw I don't feel a resistance like I did the first two weeks, so with that said I believe that it is time to step it up and get weighted gloves.  And I did, only to find the ones I bought came with two right gloves and not a right and left.  I bought these this past sunday and today I tried to return them and get another pair.  But of course this was not an easy process.  First they were out of my size.  I have small.medium size hands and they only had a large/extra large or an already opened box so no thank you.  Then we tried ordering online but there was no option to choose a size.  The next step was finding that another local store has them in stock.  So we called this store and asked if they could deliver the gloves the store I originally bought them at.  This other store then explained that it would take up to 2 weeks.  With all of this nonsense I said please just put a S/M on hold and I will go get them later this week.  What else can go wrong, I just keep visualizing the Seinfeld episode where Jerry reserves a rental car but they rented it out to someone else.

Besides this I can't complain.  I am getting into great shape and I have found a new motivation that I haven't had for some time.  Once this Les Mills Combat series over I have decided to join a gym and begin weight lifting again.  This is something I have not done since college 3 years ago.  It's great being in shape, but now I feel that it is time to tone up and get some shape back.

Till next time everyone and have a great day.
