Most Unusual Warm-up Exercises
Monday, July 7, 2008
After doing 50 jumping jacks, we lined up into four lines of about 5 people each. The Sensei wanted to continue the warmups but with a different twist. Some of the exercises we did were push-ups but having to move your body sideways (to go to the other side of the room) and then do a push up. Move sideways, another push up. Then we have to drag ourselves on the ground without any aide of our legs. It was all upper body. It was hard but my breathing was 100% fine and recovered fast. Others were not so lucky. We did a few more of these line drill exercises before moving over to the lesson.
Tonight we did our DM’s starting from the kneeling position. Some DM’s were easy to do and some were difficult to execute. Then we did some ground work on flipping the person on top of you to becomming the person now on the bottom.
