This past week has been a week of ups and downs. I'm still enjoying my Kung Fu alot. But I do find it challenging to get in all the practice I want to do, due to my work load and needing to spend some time with my family. 10 hour work days plus travel time really eats into a day.
My right shoulder and my toe I hurt have been bothering me at times. The shoulder has been like that for as long as I remember so its something I live with, but my toe definately doesnt like flexing with weight on it. It stings pretty good when I try to do proper pushups, so I'm just gonna have to do them from my knees for awhile til it heals more.
Fitness class is so awesome. So much good pain, I really look forward to saturdays now, helps me get through my 5 hours of meeting on fridays thats for sure. The positive energy and exercises and technigues we do are helping me alot. I have along way to go on my flexibilty. 20 years as a tradesman and no stretching has not been good. But it will come with time. I just need a little patience, something I could use more of at times. Again, that will improve with time. It's starting to sink in just what a big journey I have begun. But I truly believe I am becoming a better person and a better me a little bit each day.
Push-ups with an injured toe/foot: cross your feet at the ankles, let your good foot take the weight, it doesn't make much difference to the push up and only requires a little more core balance.
