Les Mills COMBAT: Day 3 - Power Kata

Ok. Somewhere between 34 and 36, this happened.

I like food. Love it even. The more, the merrier. If the looks good and it tastes good, 9 times out of 10, I'm eating it. That fact is showing on my physique a little more than I like. Enter Les Mills COMBAT.

Today's workout went well. The struggle I had with endurance during the previous workouts wasn't as bad today, even with the workout being 45 minutes long. I kept moving throughout the entire session and I felt great afterward.

The Power Kata workout took me back to kicking and punching. I have to admit that it feels good to exercise like you're training for a fight. I did have issues with completing the combinations because my form needs work. Seems like I always finished in an awkward position compared to the guys on the DVD. I hope my balance improves as I continue with these workouts so I'm better able to transition between the different kicks and punches.

Tomorrow is a rest day and I'm going to take full advantage of it. I'm sore all over, but in a great way. So far, the Les Mills COMBAT program is fun and I'm looking forward to getting back at it on Thursday.

Don't let me have all the fun. Check out the Les Mills COMBAT workout for yourself. Go to beachbodycoach.com/philipm78 and order your copy today.

New Year, New Approach

Welcome to 2015 and welcome to the new Physical and Fit blog.

I'm revamping this blog to bring you the latest in the fitness world through my eyes... with a little help from BeachBody. That's right, I'm an independent BeachBody coach. That doesn't mean I'm going to overwhelm you with post after post of buy this and buy that. While I will be referencing the many great products BeachBody has to offer, Physical and Fit is all about sharing my knowledge and experience about physical fitness as well as the knowledge and experience of others.

Stay tuned to see featured articles regarding some of your favorite fitness topics such as HIIT and Crossfit. Also, follow me as I attempt to transform myself into a ripped, athletic pre-40 year old. I plan to keep things interesting, so you'll see both my successes and my shortcomings.

Physical and Fit is about changing your body for the better, regardless of age, sex, or current weight. Remember, pain is only temporary. After the pain comes progress... and growth. Life-changing growth.

I hope you enjoy your time reading my words as much as I'll enjoy writing them. And feel free to follow me on Twitter at @pmelton357.
