A Long Day and a Rest Day

Saturday was a good day, although it was fairly long. Exercise wise, I did quite a bit, but at a low intensity pretty much all day. It started with almost 2 hours of martial arts. We worked mostly on push hands for the class.

I like push hands. It's a way to work on combat skills without the possible injuries of hard style sparring. I'm usually pretty good at it, too. We did several skill building exercises and  worked up to more freestyle push hands. I finished out the martial arts portion of the day with some push hands form work. Not exactly my finest hour, but I'm getting there.

After martial arts, I did an extra short Crossfit workout. I did 10-7-5 of reverse rows and dips, all on the rings. The work was pretty tough. I definitely need to work on my dips, though. I had a hard time with the dips, but managed to get through it.

Finally, I went on a bike ride for a date. The ride lasted a little over an hour, which was fine with me. I felt pretty good on the ride, although I need to get my "butt" callouses back.

On Sunday, I did normal rest-day activities. This included watching movies, walking the dogs and basically taking it easy. I made sure to stretch a bit, though to keep from being stiff and sore. I'll be all ready for Monday morning's workout.
