Still doing it and PROGRESS

Since last week, (blogging once a week is poor I know) , I had a few days off but then back in to it on Saturday afternoon with a bodyweight training session including lower body single leg deadlifts (bending leg) - all good and balance is getting better. Upper body is still GA Level 1 and it is going good although I am not noticing much physical difference yet but my diet is sooo bad just now that I guess I am just burning the calories that I am consuming rather than those distributed around my waist.

Sunday was TKD in the morning, sparring was better but had a good front split routine stretch afterwards and I have definitely improved both hip flexors and hams - all good.

Every day I have done light stretches and leg swings although my back is still sore (18 months on) so I might go to see a back specialist. Monday night I did bodyweight conditioning again, GA Level 1 FAST with 10 reps on first circuit then Max reps (or at least 10) on second circuit. Followed by squats, single leg deadlifts then ELC with the rubber bands (I broke another green one) and a good stretch in front splits routine again.

Tuesday I had a rest apart from light stretches and leg swings in the morning.

A note about ELC: not entirely convinced of the use of bands. Cable pulls might work better because of the direction of pull but that would take a lot of rigging up. I guess I'll try the bands in a different setup tonight. 

All Good.
