Today was a very tough day for me physically.
First of all I decided to go to karate in the middle of this heat wave. The dojo was like a sauna. We went through a lite version of our daruma taiso exercises. The one nice thing was that an old face showed up at the dojo today that i haven't seen in a year and a half or so. He's an older gentleman, short in stature but could easily kick my ass - and his personality and features reminds me of my father-in-law, whom I love just like my dad. anyway, it was a pleasure practicing with him. when I was a green belt, he was at the level I am today, and then had gone away for a bit. Well, I'm glad to see him back because now we can both practice together for our black belt exams.
Anyway, after karate, I came home and did plyometrics. I was totally winded. The 'mother of all X workouts' got to me... I think the heat had affected me, but I managed to get through it, though was not very high in intensity. A couple of things I did was to change up some of the moves again to be more like karate techniques and follow the lower impact workout.
On to shoulders & arms!
