Les Mills COMBAT: Day 1

I just completed my first day of Les Mills COMBAT and all I can say is... WOW!

I went through both the "Basics" and "Combat 30: Kick Start" DVDs and I'm worn out. 

I struggled, but I finished.

Before I started, I took my body measurements using the Measurement Tracker and tape measure I received with the DVDs. My measurements were:

• Chest - 40 inches
• Right & Left Arms - 13.5 inches
• Waist - 36 inches
• Hips - 41.5 inches
• Right & Left Thighs - 23 inches

FACT: it is difficult measure your arms by yourself.

THE WORKOUT

Let me just say that I don't have very good balance or coordination. The workouts made this revelation apparent. 

The punches combinations weren't a problem. However, when it came to the kick and knee combos, I had a tough time keeping pace. I felt as if I would fall with each front and back kick. Hopefully, as continue with the program, I will get better at maintaining my balance.

We all have to start somewhere. And although it was challenging, it was also fun. Thirty minutes and I feel great. I can't wait to do the next workout.
