My morning tuesday morning boxing class has now been cancelled, it was a great class just to keep active first thing in the morning and to build up a sweat.  Apparently the numbers were never high enough, I will now probably start to feel lost on a Tuesday morning.  At least we had a good session this morning, with a mix of drills and 1,000 punch sprints.

First we did a set o punch drills from upper cuts, jab cross and hooks.

• Side steps with 4 punches
  
• Pistons
  
• Step jump with 4 punches
  
• Plank with punch
  
• High knees 8 punches
  
• Crunch and punch

We finished off completing 1,000 punches:

• 100 uppercuts
  
• 100 jab / cross

Now I have to start making up my own routines.  Especially since, Dave got some gloves for Christmas.

Felt like a full on crazy workout today, my usual 'boxing partner' was not here this morning, so I had the pleasure of training with the trainer and doing two sets of circuits.  Which to push yourself to new limits are always great, but most definitely hard work, although surprisingly the 'killer' part of the circuit would have been the touch jumps, doing them for 30 seconds for 3 sets, your legs start to feel pretty heavy.  The usual combos, are always a mind beep, especially at 6am!!  So my major workout this morning consisted of the following TWICE

Of course when your training for a 24 hour endurance event, your training doesn't stop first thing in the morning.  The second session of the day had to happen after work.  This is more strength and conditioning based rather than cardio, but is still a killer workout:

With much concentration, I actually made it to the gym - but then there were two problems that then arose:

1. I didn't actually know what happened to the spider, or where it went, so it could still bloody well get me as I got out the car, and
   
2. If there was more than one, then maybe it got into my gym bag

Luckily, neither happened but somewhere they are still in or out of the car.  At least I got my heart racing and the sweat pouring before I even started my workout my morning workout.
