So, I didn't go to TKD class tonight so I did a good bodyweight workout based on the Gravity Advantage exercises and some from the Elastic Steel manual. All geared towards getting stronger upper body and stronger core.
Super Set 1 x 3: Horizonal Pullups x 10, Elevated Spiderman Pressups x 12.
Super Set 2 x 3: Bulgarian Split Squats with rear leg on strap x 10 each leg, Hamstring curls with legs on straps x 12.
Super Set 3 x 2: Bodyweight Chest Fly x 10, Standard Chin Ups x 8. (Wow, I actually managed to do 5 chin ups in one go. That's amazing for me)
Super Set 4 x 2: Abdominal Pike thing (press up position with feet on straps and brings knees to chest) x 12, Side Plank raises x 20 each side.
Then I finished with a bunch of reverse crunches.
All in all a good workout, I loved the elevated spiderman pressups - I felt like a superhero. The bulgarian split squats put a surprising amount of pressure at the rear of the leg that's on the ground and I can really feel my body working. Chin ups are hard going, I have never been any good at these but now I am determined. I start from an absolutely still hanging position and the just pull up, each pull starts like this without any swinging.
