Day 34: Denver's Day of Kenpo

I didn't have it today. It started out auspiciously as I hit the button on my Polar F11 before it got a chance to figure out my OwnZone. It was downhill from there.

I didn't feel into it. It might have been because I was in a tight window to get the exercise done. My heart rate was supposed to be from 137-145 but I averaged 138 and spent most of my workout under the Zone, and that was before the Heart Rate Killing "Blocks". I only reached my Max(163) during the punches at the end.

My Polar F11 goes from one extreme to the other, as it can't get a handle on the alternating workouts. Maybe it's BiPOLAR?

I did learn something today, as I slogged through the Bruce Lee impersonation. Every time I have done the "Step-Grab-Drag-Punch" I've imagined I'm grabbing someone's hair and then punching them in the face. I always found this to be quite an unrealistic move. Sure, I think I've seen people do this in movies, but not everyone has hair (Ahem...Dallas...What?). Today I watched carefully and realized that it was grabbing a piece of clothing and then punching the face. Duh! Now that makes more sense. Anyway, that's my education for the day. Enjoy!

Keep Bringing It!
