Woke up sore from a hard training last night. New guys rocked up at boxing meant we went harder than normal to push everyone to their limits followed by a slow BJJ class because it was only new guys in that too. Combined with the workout I did in the morning it meant getting up today was much harder. Also the cold that I am still trying to fight is still lingering which is making recovery much slower.

I did Pandora again today after a 45 min walk with the dog. I am taking a rest day because of this cold and since I am unable to go to training tonight since I’ve got a family thing. But back to training tomorrow and will be pushing myself. Going to go for a hike around the nearest mountain range during the day so it will be a tough day!

Looking into the future there are some big competitions for BJJ coming up in February and March. If I don’t feel confident going for February I think I will go for the Arnold Classic next March and see how I will go in that.

Over the past 6 weeks I have definitely grown stronger, faster and fitter in terms of my martial arts and overall fitness. I am slowly growing happier with how my body looks and how I feel.

Starting from today I am upping my training plan from 5-6 days of training a week doing bjj + boxing/kickboxing to an additional workout during the mornings. I am starting to go for runs with my dog in the morning to kill two birds with one stone. Then I am doing a basic workout that will get harder as the months go on (if you want to follow it, here it is):

20 pushups 20 crunches 20 sec leg lift (hold 6 inches above the ground) 20 bicycle crunches 20 toe touches (with your back on the floor and your feet straight up in the air)

repeat 3 times. With time this will increase to 30, then 40, 50 and so on.

With motivation from @thephysicalarts​ I am also starting the Pandora workout from Darebee (http://darebee.com/programs/age-of-pandora.html). @thephysicalarts​ and I are going to try and finish this 60 day challenge before moving on to the Avatar challenge (http://darebee.com/programs/avatar-program.html)

If anyone would like to join us in this it’ll be good motivation for myself to hear feedback and constant posts about it. I’ll be tagging my posts as #budoblrpandora for anyone who wants to follow my journey.
