Body Combat Initial Training Day 1

Wanted to write this up real fast before I go to bed. Cause I'm exhausttttt!!

Today was the first day of two of the BodyCombat initial training. I had a blast!!! BC has similarities to turbokick but it's also very very, VERY different. You really embody the feel of a fight. The moves are really technical and form-specific. Everything works together like a jigsaw puzzle, and i love jigsaw puzzles!

We had to present a track today . I had track 7 which is Muay Thai. SOO MUCH FUN!!! Seriously, that track ROCKS!!! I was nervous at first because it's physically demanding but once I got up there I was fine. I got really good feedback from the trainer. She said my knees were perfect, my form was great, and my forward plyo push kick was great. I know she wouldn't just hand out compliments easily because this is meant to be a tough training that fully challenges you. So that made me feel quite proud of myself. She said I need to work on the downward street brawl punch, and also my plyo push.

Tomorrow I have the karate track which is a lot harder for me, and I have to present it twice so I'm a tad nervous about that. Especially because I am starting to feel really sore right now O_O. oh boy.

Still, super excited, and will update with my progress!

I never EVER thought I would be so into fitness....dude, I spent most of my life being fat and uncoordinated. I'm still fat-ish,but that's changing at its own pace, whatever. Still, I am pushing physical boundries I never would have thought i'd be able to push. PRETTY COOL.

Chalene Johnson always says to make your goals public, so I'm saying it now: I want to get really, really, REALLY good at this. And I know that's not specific like she says it's supposed to be but tomorrow after training I will probably have a better idea of measurable goals I can set. I really feel like I can learn, embody and master this format, with time.

Upcoming BodyCombat Training.. excited!!!

I've pretty much lost my mind. I signed up for another training -- BodyCombat. This one is going to be much, much harder than the TurboKick one, but I think I'm up for it. I LOVE Bodycombat. It's such an empowering workout that is VERY focused on form and technique. Which, I am a huge dork about.

I've been teaching Turbokick 1-2 times a week and i LOVE it!!! Sure I've made PLENTY of mistakes, but it all comes with being a new instructor I think, but so far the members seem pretty understanding and overall enjoy the workout. I am not planning to get lazy about this at all. I want to improve every single time.

And, if I get to teach BC, it's really going to challenge me and take me to the next level. I'm excited!! 

I have been working hard to get my form right before the training and practicing a lot because I have to come prepared to present 2 tracks -- i got track 6 and 7 which is karate and muay thai, respectively. Some of the hardest tracks in the release. Thankfully some wonderful instructors have been helping me iron out the details, and I'm going to learn a lot during the actual training too. yay!!

Have you tried Body Combat? Well if you haven't and aren't near a gym, I have good news. This workout can also be found on DVD, and starting today actually until the end of march it's a special price.

And I'm telling you, this workout is FIERCE. It is truly my new favorite. Ask me questions if you have any, otherwise you can get it HERE!!!!!
