Weekend Fitness Class

This past weekend in fitness class we focused on forms.  We did 5 minutes of any form we wanted then 1 minute of cardio and 1 minute rest then back to forms.

We did this for 6 reps.  Now thinking of this I didn't think much of it at the time.  Ok, no problem I can do this.

I chose Long as it is the form I am working on for I Ho Chuan.  After class I worked on my weapon form for about 1/2 and hour before having to leave to take care of some family things.  Again, I did not think much of how much work it was in class.  Just after supper I took my dog's for a walk and then it dawned on me.  My thighs were tightening up and it was a little difficult to walk.   I am beginning to realize how much energy and work goes into doing a form correctly with intensity.  Don't get me wrong I have a lot of work to do to get the form more presentable, but I now know what intensity is needed to get there.


This class was an eye opener, the further into the class (and the more fatigued I got)  the more I was loosing mental focus.  I didn't fully realize it at the time but later on during my walk it began to come together for me.  As I became more fatigued mentally I began making the smallest mistakes in the form and then bigger mistakes.  I now know that the mental aspect is where I need to focus more time if I am to get as much as I can out of the I Ho Chuan experience.
