PM workout- I got to bring two people as guests tonight, my friend Josi from my old kung fu school, and Sarah from my work.
We did the entire workout outside in the 'patio' area under the boxing terrace.
Sal started us with some real nice and easy stretches and warming up. We started to get intense with the jumping jacks, running in place and shadow striking.
Changed up the curls with different starting and ending points on our wrist rotation.
Worked the squat-curl-twist/presses.
Sal brought on a side plank exercise. We did 10 up-down raises, then we held for 10 very long seconds... some of his seconds were more like two, but I guess that's the fun of it all.
It was kind of cool to be right in front of Sal as he worked. I really felt like I was trying to 'shadow' him completely, speed and form. I dig on that.
Oh yeah, I have to mention something funny, for my memoires... and it give props to Sal for having such a great sense of humor and personality. Someone farted during the exercises and I really can't say it was Sal or not, but he took the fall. I couldn't help myself, but yelled, "Hey Music Man!" LOL! Just so funny, cause Rudy calls him our DJ, cause we use his mp3 player for the workouts. It was funny, we had a little extra ab workout from the whole hearted guffaws. :)
The night made me sweat, but the reps were short, only 10-20 and we took things really slow. I think it worked us out hard in a different manner. Really going throught the movements and holding the movements... kind of like taichi versus kung fu... it wasn't fast and furious, but it wasn't too easy either. Having to be slow and controlled and sustain poses is tough!
Sal "hates, hates, hates" slow motion bicycles, but he made us do them a few times. That's a great example to us. Just cause we don't like 'em doesn't mean we shouldn't work them!
