Well everythng is going pretty well. Starting to get use to the reduction of food. My energy levels is lower but my training in Muay Thai has improved and after the workout I have tons of energy.
My Muay Thai workout usually include the following:
- Work the basics: Jab, cross, hook, uppercut, knees, teeps and round kicks.
- Hit the heavy bags with the a variation of basic combos.
- 10 x 3min rounds of various combination hitting pads with my coach.
- Squats, pushup, crunches
- Stretching.
- Natural body weight training.
That is pretty much the basic routine. Depending on what I worked the last trainin session with my coach we may add in some sport specific kettle bell exersices into the training.
I only work 10min away from the gym I teach at, so twice a week I will do a private training session with my coach.
My typical routine is as follows:
Mon: Muay Thai (1pm) Muay Thai (5-6pm) then I teach MT from 7-8pm
Tue: MT or Weight Training
Wed: Muay Thai (1pm) Muay Thai (5-6pm) then I teach MT from 7-8pm
Thurs: MT or Weight Training
Friday: no training
Sat: Either train MT or teach, depending on the the number of students we have for classes.
Sun: Yoga or stretching
I train with some of the best Muay Thai instructors in the city. Kombat Arts Training Academy. They have been very supportive when I used to compete, when I teach, and now trying to get back into shape after having knee surgery.
Tues and Thurs I will either do weights or MT at another gym, where Im not an instructor at. This is so I can focus on training and not teaching.
As for foods, I have cleaned out the fridge and freezer and replaced everything planned for my diet. No booze either. :) That's not to hard since I did enough drinking over the holidays.
Well that it for now.... I think tomorrow I will spend some time and develop a complete week training program including detailed MT and weight routine.
