MMA and me; day 47

Due to the ridiculous weather we've been having, I only went to one class last night. More because of the amount of people that was there, than a desire to only do one class. In any event, I worked my butt off, and feel that the decision was just. I got there a little late, and missed doing my jump rope and shadow boxing, but managed to be right on time for the hellish kettle bell workout. Not wanting to be a pansy, I grabbed a 25 pound weight, and went balls out. First we did 25 one armed swing presses with each side, 25 push ups, 50 two armed swing presses, 50 squat thrusts, 25 clean and presses with each arm, than finished with 50 mountain climbers. To say this kicked my ass would be an understatement. We jumped right into putting boxing gloves on and doing burnouts on the heavy bag for three minutes, then three minutes of rolling uppercuts on focus mitts. Continuing the gnarly exercises, we did three minutes of skippies, and finished off with the plank position. It was only one class, but it so thoroughly kicked the poop out of me that I didn't feel bad going home before jiu jitsu. Also, nobody was going to stick around for it, so I would have had nobody to roll with. Maybe tonight will be different.
