Operation Shodan Fit: Week 2!

Last week, the data from my workouts were pretty much completely recorded by striiv, which was great, but I noticed a few things that I wanted to try and improve for this week's workouts.  They were as follows:
  • Although the long walks were burning great calories, they took forever, and I wanted to raise the intensity level a bit for an increased heart rate during the cardio portion of the workout.
  • The long time dedicated to those walks cut into other aspects of my training.
  • I wanted to have some sort of HIIT (High Intensity Interval-Training) for every day I worked out.
  • I wanted to dedicate the lion's share of my time to exercises that were simultaneously polishing my Yoshukai material.
So, with these ideas in mind, I revamped the exercise regimen a bit.  From here out, the workouts will be on two week plans.  Scale will change over time.

Week A:  MWF HIIT (provided by Mrs. Garduque): progressing by 2, 2-20 (Pushups, Squat w/2 front kicks, Burpees, V-sits).  Forms workout A:  (Each open-hand form straight through without rest.  Short rest, weapons forms without rest (nunchaku, bo, then sai).  3 2-minute rounds on the heavy bag.
Week B:  TH Tabata (1 round morning, 1 round late afternoon), Forms workout B:  workout A x 2.  5 2-minute rounds on the bag Tuesday, 2 on Thursday (as a warm-up for semi-knockdown rounds Thursday night.)

I'll also be journaling classes attended, so these weekly updates should be fairly detailed, as opposed to the more free-form posts during the week.

Post fights on Thursday, I spent most of yesterday resting, but I'm hoping light workouts will be easier on Fridays from here out.

Here is the Striiv breakdown for M-T-W.  (Thursday I was unable to sync and lost data.)

Monday:

Steps:  10,431
Miles:  5.2
Equivalent steps:  140
Calories burned:  1,037

Tuesday: 

S:  6,932
M:  3.4
ES:  1,749 (Tuesday, I did the Eiffel Tower challenge.  The tower has 1,665 steps to the top observation deck.  I completed the challenge in 52 minutes.)
C:  1,028

Wednesday:

S:  11,577
M:  5.8
ES:  188
C:  1,286

Thursday:  Data lost because this goober didn't write them down before trying to sync.  After midnight, the scores roll back to zero.  You can still sync, but I waited too long.

Next week, I'll be just outside Charleston vacationing on Isle of Palms will Blair and her family.  I have my laptop with me, and I'll keep you updated on workouts during the week.  There is a gym available on the island, so I'll include some free-weight work to offset a week off from formal classes.

  1. If you go to the main menu and click the 'charts' on your Strive, you can scroll through data for the past 5 days and see trends for the past 30. So you should be able to retrieve most of your Thursday data that way!
