I couldn't resist the temptation to do the new combat workout that came out this week
I'm still pondering whether to maintain at least some strength training with weights but I'm now convinced to switch to favoring combat workouts combined with bodyweight strength training

Today I challenged myself: I changed the kicks and did 4 types instead of 1 and added 3 pull-ups at the end of the set.
This way I did everything I was interested in training: kicks and punches, push-ups, pull-ups and hindu squats, the complete package
Apart from some pain it went well, we'll see how I am tomorrow, in any case I'm satisfied with my current level of training

I'm a little sore from yesterday's workout but I don't have any particular pain, so I'd say it went well.
I'll add some extra mobility and stretching as needed.
I'm still experimenting but with a lot of freedom depending on my desire and mood.

Today I was definitely sore and wooden-legged.
So the ideal to test my theory: mobility and stretching combined with a light workout are better as active recovery than mobility and stretching alone.
I'll let you know tomorrow
Last night we played with a new punching bag that just arrived at the gym, similar to the one in the photo, it's so big and heavy that it rests on the ground because it can't hang.

A full power turning kick doesn't move it.
It gives satisfaction at the end of the day

I'm feeling better today but I'm not fully recovered from Thursday's intense leg workout so I'll continue my active recovery by slowly increasing the intensity.
Elbow and knee strikes are much more complex movements than they appear, I had fun mixing up a few Muay Thai combos
Since I have time and desire I will continue with generous warmups and stretching in every workout that I can and want.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others. Winston Churchill

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Gardening can be ; I remember dad and mom working on our garden But for Dad, it was also an important way to decompress after the stress of his job. Even now, he still does what he can around the garden, and adores watching the flowers.

 

[Fremen]

@PetiteSheWolf I still have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the garden, partly because of allergies, partly because the way our garden is set up means you have to do a lot of it by hand and partly because I'm lazy.
But I really like the fruit trees that I planted myself.

 

[Lady Celerity]

I agree! I love to work in the garden but mine is high-maintenance. What kinds of fruit trees do you have?

 

[Fremen]

What kinds of fruit trees do you have?

I have two pear trees that were already there before and then I planted two plum trees, a lemon tree and three shrubs: giant blueberry, raspberry and blackberry

My maximum duration of a planned and well structured workout is 3 months... then I have to change or I get too bored
I have to face the fact that I am a casual training aesthete.
So I'm going to stop trying to cram my combat workouts with pull-ups, push-ups and squats and just do what I feel like, when I feel like it and that's fine.
