Sunday Training

Took the TKD class this morning, pretty good really and all students seemed interested in bunch of new exercises. All seemed to go well. However, I really needed to get some more training done so I did that in the evening:

After a warmup I went in to Extended Length Conditioning working the Hamstrings and the innerthighs, doing Hamstring Force and Adductor Force. I find the Hamstring Force quick tricky to get the right muscles to the resistance band, but that'll get better quickly. I find that working the Hamstring Force II a better option for working right up high in my hamstrings, close to my bum. I find that currently the limiting factor with the Adductor Force exercises is the strength in the arm holding the restistance band. It is not my grip (although that is also poor) but it is the strength in my arms, this will get better though with more training - just gotta keep working hard.

Then I moved in to some deep stretching and worked the Front Splits routine both sides. As a general observation I can feel that my hamstrings are tight and my hip flexors are REALLY TIGHT. However, I can feel some positive progress since my bench mark tests just over a week ago.

All in all, feeling GOOD.
