Fighting Fit at Retirement
I joined a club that focuses on martial arts. I exercise alot for my age. I walk and jog at Bukit Timah Hill, went to the gym and do brisk walking. However, my fitness was torn to shreds doing this martial arts exercises. I thought I was fit and toned every muscle there is. Still, I found it extremely challenging doing the martial arts exercises.
What is the martial arts I joined? Muay Thai. This was one style that my youngest daughter wanted to join, roped in me and now I have completed 2 workout session. It was fun and tough.
We started the one hour session doing warm up. This was no more than 15 mins. However, by the time we completed this warm up, we were perspiring and panting profusely. Then we do Muay Thai style stance, kicking and punching. We challenged our shadows then a punching bag. The individual punching and kicking is fun. However, the combination of punching and kicking and knee kicks were the best. At times, with the right combination and style, I can hear the power of each kick and punch to the bag. What a stress relief!
My whole body was totally worn out. My leg were sore. I walked with a limp. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, if only I could get up and walk to my next workout..
I must try ...
You should too.
