What a heat wave last week! I ended up taking a few days off of training last week. I think I needed to let my body rest a bit, and the heat wave was not conducive to strenuous exercise. So, I started off the month of June with 2.6 km run (just a little more than a mile and a half).<\/p>\n

I ran 2.6 km (a little more than a mile and a half) in 14 minutes 9 seconds.<\/p>\n

I went to taekwondo for the test training. It was a good class. We worked on the requirements for the test. After the do jang, I meet up with Nathan at the gym. I was starting to miss the weight training. It’s funny, but after some time to rest, my muscles really miss the workout. Always feel so strong after weight training. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Leg lifts
\nPull-ups (aka chin-ups, military and parallel)
\nDips
\nLeg press
\nHamstring flexor (called seated leg curls)
\nHip adductors
\nHip abductors
\nSeated row
\nBar pulls (I think this is called the lateral pull-downs; it works the muscles next to the scapulae on the back)
\nSeated chest press
\nShoulder fly
\nShoulder lift (this is called the shoulder press)<\/p>\n
Free weights:
\nSitups (on a incline bench; worked out the obliques as well by doing double punches during the situp)
\nBicep curls
\nPectoral fly
\nShoulder strengthening
\nPush-ups<\/p>\n
Well, after having a nice little break, I think I’m ready for another busy week. Tonight is a do jang night and tomorrow I’m going to try a 5 km route (actually works out to 5.2 km\/3.25 miles, but will be good for me to go the extra distance as this is a little more than half the 10 k run).<\/p>\n
Today’s official countdown: 4 weeks, 5 days left.<\/p>\n
