Mixed Martial Arts is Hard!

Today was switch it up day.
My sister and I go to the gym four days a week. It usually looks something like this:
Tuesday~ Legs & Glutes
Wed~ Arms & abs
Thurs~ Legs & Glutes
Fri~ Arms & Abs
In addition to running every one of those days too.
After about 7 weeks we started to get bored. Getting bored at the gym is a bad thing. Bored leads to lazy leads to quitting. So I started looking into some other fitness classes that we could take maybe once a week. Just to switch things up a bit. It would be new, not boring, and I'd learn some things I could add to my routine. Most places offer a first class free so you can try it out. Others offer a cheap drop-in rate. Drop in is great if you want to go just one day a week.
I had planned to make a list and try a new drop in class every week. Then pick one or two to go back to. But on week one we went to a Mixed Martial Arts fitness class and loved it! So we went again today. There it lots of punching and kicking, push-ups and crunches, lunges and quick steps... and punching some more! I couldn't quite keep up today. I worked hard and sweat buckets, but there were a few times he called 'High Knees' when I just couldn't get my knees up there. I think it's still a great boost to my fitness routine.

After MMA we went straight to the gym. Still had to get a run in. Yesterday I ran week 8 day 2. But today I just didn't have that in me after being at MMA. My sister has been having trouble keeping up with her progress in running. Probably largely because she is a smoker. So she has been getting discouraged lately. So today we decided to go back to week 5 and work back up. At least for this week. And we completed it!
