I trained 5 days out of 6 last week as I went to the afternoon session on Saturday. I’m really pleased with that because my sleeping pattern is all over the place at the moment.

I’m not quite sure what happened to my original post on Friday because it seems to have disappeared which is worrying but never mind. Will have to keep an eye on that.

The training each day consists a warm up then 5 x 3 minute rounds on the bags with a 1 minute rest in between during which we have to do 10 push ups or sit ups then the same again but in the ring with a trainer and the pads. That alone is enough to lose weight and you’re literally dripping with sweat afterwards.

Depending on the day of the week we then focus on certain aspects of Muay Thai so -

Monday = Clinching
Tuesday = Clinching
Wednesday = Kicking
Thursday = Wai Kru (Dance performed by every fighter before a fight)
Friday = Western boxing

Some people aren’t interested in fighting so if you don’t want to do any of those then you can’t just leave you have to do 150 front kicks and 150 knees on the bags and then a warm down before finishing.

Before we start an exercise or round we have to bow to the trainer or even the bag. If you don’t then it’s 20 push ups.

I weighed before my session on Friday and I was down to 100.9 kilos so that’s my first target of 10 kilos and I’ve still been enjoying myself without being too strict on the diet.
