testing the vomit threshold

Trained in the sitting room today because it was so cold in the gym. I'm keeping these clips for my own records, hoping so very hopefully to improve. But to anyone who clicks through to the footage, please do not judge us too harshly for the amount of dust flying around the room.  I swear the camera was picking up stuff you could not see if you were there! That's my story & I'm sticking.


I was determined to get through as much of the Tabata as possible. I didn't post all of the footage because some of it was ground and pound and the camera didn't pick up anything but the top of my head as I attempted to batter Steve. It's just as well, because in all honesty it was less of a battering and more of a squirrel-like pitter-patter of my fists. I got through the standup Tabatas OK, but when he had me do low round kicks and knees on the free bag I came very close to vomiting. Was useless after that.

I was going to learn some ground skills today but we tried that after the Tabatas and...it didn't go well. When Steve's shoulder went into my abdomen I was like, 'Uh, I am green, man. I am gonna so puke on you in a second.' I will look for a follow-up session tomorrow.

Learned a little trick to get into the clinch from punching; very simple but I'd never have figured it out for myself.

Now my arms are all trembly. I know I did something.
