Week 4: Day 1

strength training:

• yoga (@ 12pm) = 1 hour

cardio:

• karate = 2 hours
  ~ first (beginners) class = 7pm to 8pm
  ~ second (intermediate) class = 8pm to 9pm

We did some grappling in the second class. You would think that the runner in me knew how to breathe properly for sparring/grappling. Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth would make you less tired and you can have more energy that can help you last longer for a "fight". I have figured out how to breathe correctly for running and can run 13.1 miles (or two hours at my pace), but I struggle with grappling for any length of time. Three minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but it is very tiring if you don't know how to breathe right.
