#5toFit workout Day 2. Had karate/ fight training today after a 2 week break due to my shoulder injury. After yesterday’s workout and then the hour plus with my instructor today, I will definitely be feeling it tomorrow.

A lot of you ask me what I do in a session. It changes a lot. Today we warmed up with traditional boxing and kickboxing on the focus mitts and then went into kihon- which are basic techniques: strikes, blocks and kicks that are done up and down the court, focusing on hip action, breathing, combinations and foot placement. We then took a set of five kicks and one counter block and strike to the focus mitts- ie. i was attacking my instructor. We did them over and over again. We then mixed it up with more boxing rounds for cardio and then finished with a traditional kata which is what the video shows. We actually filmed this a month ago abut its what I also did today. I am currently working on 3 different katas (which mean forms). They take a very long time to perfect and mine are still very much a work in progress. :)

How was your workout?
