Missed a post, maybe two. I am continuing to do upper body exercising and am just starting to do some lower body stuff. My lower body day consisted of some slide board side lunges, pull throughs, and step ups. I will continue with body weight stuff until I start to feel a little better and then I'll start with the weights.
I switched gyms, heading back to the strongman gym. One of the reasons for the switch, besides the fact that at my old gym guys go shirtless, nobody racks the weights and everything is broken, is that the new gym offers free boxing classes. It's from 7-8pm which is kind of awkward. 6:30 to 7:30 or 6 to 7 would be better, but I'll deal with it. The late start time forced me out of the Friday class, which would have been nice because I would have gotten a 1 to 1 intro with one of the trainers. Instead I waited till Monday and there was more beginners than just me: Two 18ish kids who were not that athletic and two 14 year old girls. The class lasted an hour. For the 1st 20 minutes we worked on stepping forward. For the second 20 minutes I worked on stepping with a left jab. For the last 20 minutes I did stepping with a left right jab. The 14 year old's never progressed past stepping forward. An hour of, "why aren't I doing it right?", "no, don't look at me when I do it (when the trainer would try to help)", "I can't do it", which invariably drew the dudes attention away from me and the other guys and onto the girls. He would take 1 minute to move me on to something else and then not talk to me for 15 minutes or so while he tried to get the other 4 stepping right. I'm doing this for cardio so if I have to do this like 3 or 4 more times till I have all the punches and foot work down I'm not sure it's worth it. That being said I think at the end of the training session I get to fight one of the girls.

Lex had to get home to call some teachers.
circuit:
8 inverted rows
8 stepup pushups: one step up vertical at the chest. one push up on the ground (touch chest to step), explode from the ground to the step for a close grip push up = 1 rep
1/3 of the alphabet with 25 lb weight
heavy bag:
3 x 30 secs on 30 secs off
my hamstring feels better and i'm starting more strengthening exercises week by week. last week it was sliding lateral lunges on a slide board and also some great core work on the slide board by doing mountain climbers while always maintaining foot contact with the board.
