Our family started doing Krav Maga a few weeks ago. We signed up for the long hall. We go 3-4 times a week and 2 of the work outs last for 1 1/2 -2 hours. Its amazing and we are loving it!!

I want to start doing the P90X stretch video on the off days. My body is really sore and having to adjust, but I know it will get there sooner than later :)

We did Krav Maga tonight. My little girls did the kids class and then my older 3 and I did the adult class. It was very good. My body is not 20 any more and I have lots of pains, but I'm pushing through it (not in a bad way). I can't wait for my body to respond the way my mind is :) In my mind I can do anything ..lol..

We did Krav Maga on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights.. It was amazing, but my body was crying for a break. So instead of doing Krav today, we tilled our garden and added another 144 sq.feet to it. I was outside for half the day shoveling horse stuff and raking the tilled garden. It looks great and now I'm ready for a nice bath and a good nights sleep.

We'll do Krav again on Monday!!
