Walking Like A Duck

After 1 and 1/2 year of break, I finally got to join in the training for Taekwondo. It's a full, solid 3 hours of kicking, sparring (non-contact) and jogging. The effect... I am walking like a duck today!

I re-discovered why I love Taekwodo and this club so much! It started off with some catching up with the familiar juniors. And all of them seems to be very interested if I am back in Singapore for good...Yes, I'll be in Singapore and I will definitely join the training more often.

Then comes the warm-up and training. To my surprise I can keep up with the training, but half way through, my lungs started working overtime. I can feel the heat like the coal burning in the train to keep the train to move faster. This is a feeling that I have not felt for a long time, and I know that I am not as fit and flexible! I want to be back in shape!

The training ended with 2.4km run routine around the track. This is the part that I love because it is at my own pace and to enjoy the fresh air. But I almost give up at 1.8km. I had to use my will power to push through and complete the run! Using my will power to complete the training was also why I got hooked to the training of this club. It trains my mind and discipline! Definitely not for the weak hearted and low determination...

After that, we usually train overtime, practising our own kicks. I did reverse kick (or spinning back hook) and only manage to do 5 times and my head started to spin and daze! 20 times per leg was common 1 and 1/2 year ago!

Man it felt good after he workout, bathed and enjoyed a well-deserved dinner! I am definitely coming back for more trainings.

Although I am walking like a duck and my legs muscles are loaded with lactic acid as I am writing this posting, I know that my legs will be toner and sexier...haha!

I am so blessed and grateful that NTU still welcomes me and Sylvia! We're back!
