Workout

So today I trained with my great friend again, Phil Forteza and he taught me how to do Matadors with a jump rope. They were hard at first but I slowly got the hang of it and now I’m excited to master them. So our reps were 50 matadors then 50 seal sit ups. Then 40X40, 30X30, 20X20 and 10X10. I’m not great at sit ups but good thing Phil helped motivate me. Then we moved to Bumper plate burpees. It’s like a regular burpee but when you come up, you have to lift a 25 lb. weight all the way straight up. We alternated starting with 1 burpee, then 2, 3 all the way to 10 in a row. I had to take many breaks in between but it felt great knowing I finished all my reps even though I got weaker. Then we moved on to boxing which is my favorite part. I don’t know the actually names of the moves but what I have learned so far is jab, cross, upper cut, hook, ducking, leaning back and follow through with a cross and some blocking. It was fun doing random combinations like I was a real boxer. I can’t wait to learn more of boxing because I love the sport. Muhammad Ali Is one of my heros in and especially out of the ring. After sparring we did some stretching and called it a day. Even though it took me a long time to get through each exercise I still felt good knowing I can push myself to finish. I felt like giving up but I just had to catch my breath and give it my all. It’s always great to have a helping hand to support you through your weakest times. Thanks Phil for the awesome workout and can’t wait till the next one.
