week 4

Another week has flown by, work was insanely busy this past week, it ran me down physically and mentally. I ended up getting behind on my numbers of pushups and situps so I made them up on sunday doing 400 pushups and 450 situps. It was definately a struggle but I'm happy I got them done. I discovered tonight that I have been cheating a bit by using the couch to hold my feet down while doing my sit ups. So tonight I did 100 in the middle of the floor. Wow big burn. I'm still working hard on my center and the 6 harmonies as well as correcting and improving my stances in Da Mu Hsing. I'm happy that I'm correcting some of the bad habits I had developed when first learning the form. I'm starting to see what everyone means by you never truly master a form there is always soemthing to improve. I like that challenge, it keeps me actively thinking about what my body is doing at all times. Fitness class on saturdays is really helping, I look forward to it all week long. I'm sore as can be sunday but my stamina is improving and my recovery rate is wayyyyyy better. I have to thank everyone for their positive encouragement when in class etc. I find I really like to know when I doing something well as much as when I'm not. That way I know that I'm improving and growing in my Kung Fu.
