Our morning started at the gym around 9:00 am today. Sorry Ms. Grover, no 4:00 am starts. Our warm up was boosted up to three reps instead of two from yesterday. Running around the block, ten squats and ten burpees (see other post for description). Then we started our day with more precision jumping. I (ness) can land a jump from 7 and a half feet away, Luke can jump 8 feet and Kai can jump a crazy 9 feet or more.
Then we moved onto roles. First leading with the right, then leading with the left but mostly slapping out heads off the mats. As soon as we fixed our head position our legs were coming out wrong or our arms were to limp, etc... We are working so hard.
Picture yourself walking along a balance beam on all fours (no knees) and coming to a gap in the beam, leaping forward and continuing on, then do it multiple times. It's amazing how much balance it is possible to have if you really know how to use your body parts.
After concentrating on more roles for another hour or so we finished up the day with 10 reps on the right foot and then 10 reps on the left foot of these table top spring thingys. Put one foot on a block push up on your toes and jump off that block and then land back in your original position. All on one foot. Do that 10 times. It took us 11 minutes and 24 seconds with Mark (our trainer) grinning and filming at us the whole time.
It was hilarious watching the three of us attempting to walk down the sidewalk afterwards. Our legs kept buckling.
Nothing a cold bath can't fix right? I took mine at 7:00 and only now at 10:15 have i regained feeling in all my limbs. My thumbs seem to stay numb for a really long time...
Today we visited the Capital building and the Air and Space museum. Ron Paul was giving a speech on the mall and the sky was perfectly blue.
A beautiful day and way past our bed time.
Good night and good luck,
or just good night;) zzzzzzzzz
