JULES’ TRAINING & DIET DIARY ENDURANCE & METABOLISM RAMPING PHASE WEEK 7 JUNE 24 – 26
“If you do not change direction,
you may end up where you are heading.”
Lao Tzu
SUNDAY JUNE 24: A shaky night of sleep. Tooth
ache kept waking me up. Lots of tossing and turning. Started the day out with a
Smudge, Standing Series Yoga & Meditation. Began Partial Fast Saturday
at 9 pm. Continued it today. Dog
Run to Townson Fitness.
1 Trainee. Then MMA Class. A few more Trainees. No time or ability to train
myself. Tried to be active during this week’s sessions. Able to stay reasonably
alert despite feeling pretty awful. Home. Broke Fast 8 pm. All very healthy. Finished
by 9 pm. Walking Momo, with Cutting Practice.
Iaijutsu work. Mei Only. Both sides Draw. Reverse Draw, both sides. Felt
calm and focused. Too tired by then to do much but watch TV to wind down.
MONDAY
JUNE 25: Better night. Think I got a
little more sleep. Suspension & Stability Focused HIIT Workout: 2 Giant Sets Each of: Yard Sprints, with Hanging Scapular
Rotations x 10 with Suspension Push Ups
x 50(Shallow. Limited range with shoulder.), with Pistol Squats x 20 Each Leg/
Side Crossover Sprints with Negative Chins x 10 with Suspension Push Up Flys x
50, with Sidekick One Leg Squats x 20 Each Leg/ Plyo Suspension Supported
Pistol Jump Squats with Suspension Rows x 50, with Suspension Pullover
Crunches(Facing away from the Straps, holding them Overhead, carrying as much
bodyweight as required and as is safe, Push your body backwards while you
Crunch through your Upper Abs, and then return. By the Way, you don’t need
expensive Suspension Straps. You can use anything that can support your weight
to do most of these exercise. A rope. A towel. A good strong luggage Strap. Use
your imagination, but test first and make sure it’s safe.) Seated Series Yoga. Extended
Stretch. Meditate. Very healthy diet. Stopped eating by 8 pm. Walk Momo with Cutting Practice. Iaijutsu Draw &
Breathe. Mei only. Did some writing and read to wind down.
TUESDAY JUNE 26: Got a decent night’s sleep, I think. Part of getting older is an
obsession with being able to sleep, because it comes with such great difficulty
with each passing year. Dealing with my PTSD hasn’t helped. I am absolutely
certain that it will in the long run, that on the other side of this is a
better, stronger me. But right now. a whole bunch of stuff is getting shaken
loose and that too is causing me to lose sleep. Had some time to work out
before going to the gym. Partial Fast. Started the day Outdoors in the beautiful sunshine. That definitely
helped to wake me up a little. Smudge, Meditate,
Bodyweight Plyometric HIIT Circuit(Slightly reduced. Didn’t have a lot of time):
2 Giant Sets Each
of: Rebound Sprints, with Drop and
Catch Chins(See previous post for a description of this exercise) x 20 with Rebound Plyo Push Up Bounces(Pushing off the
Rebounder from the Top Position) x 20, with 20 Straight Leg Rebound Plyo Jumps/
Rebound Wide Leg Sprints with Push Off Chins(Pushing off upwards from a
horizontal stable object and catching myself. You can do these standing, from a
kneeling position or with your legs back away from the object to increase or reduce
difficulty) x 20 with Full Rebound Plyo Push Ups x 20, with Rebound High Knee
Jumps x 20/ Rebound Boxing and/or Grappling Change ups x 50 each Lead, with 1
Arm Row Position Drop and Pull (You can do this by Dropping Backwards and Catching
yourself on a strongly stationary object. You can adjust the difficulty by how
far your stand back and how much weight you allow yourself to catch, from very
easy to very difficult. Just make sure that the object that your grabbing is
very strong and very stable. I use a railing at an intersection, where it is
the strongest.) x 20 each Arm. 1 Arm Plyo Push Offs (Similar to the previous
exercise, but Pushing off the object rather than grabbing onto it) x 20, with
Rebound Pistol Squat Jumps(You can do any of the Rebound Exercises on soft
ground, if you don’t have a rebounder. You can adjust the difficulty by keeping
the front leg close to or even on the ground, and adjust the height of your
jump, from a small hop to a good high jump.) Standing Series Yoga. Meditate. Dog Run to Gym. Outdoor Functional Workout with Jen - 2 Supersets Each of: Kip Dismounts x 20
with Field Sprints/ Wide Leg Hanging Windshield Wipers with Side Crossover
Field Sprints./Tri Set of: Medicine Ball Back Roll, Slam and Stand Up to Slam,
with 1 Arm Band Grappling Pulldowns, with Turn and Grappling Shot with a Heavy
Band around an anchor and the Inside Knee. Just a few trainees. Got to
train them outside, which was nice. Walk
Home. Maintained Fast to 7 pm. Healthy meals. Did quite a bit of reading and writing
outdoors, which was nice. Stopped eating by 9 pm. Walked Momo, with sword and cutting practice. No Iaijutsu Draw Practice. Giving
my shoulder a rest. Still a little sore. Iced shoulder and watched TV to wind
down.
