[bacardio]

Well, to make a long story short... After finishing the 2008 first half challenge closing in on my goal weight (but not body comp goal)...

But with injuries, I wasn't able to do more than maintain until Halloween, when I attended a 3-day Halloween drinking extravaganza, and gained 10 lbs which I could seem to shake.

But now , my coaching season is over and I can get back to working out.

My plan is to use Leigh's OPT plan and see how that turns out.

I haven't figured out my calorie burns yet, so I will post those when the time comes.

Current activity schedule is as follows:

Mondays: Karate class & hockey
Tues: open
Wed: Kickboxing (possible)
Thurs: Karate
Fri: Sparring
Sat: Kickboxing (possible)
Sun: open

So, as you see lifting isn't in there quite yet. I have Tues open and if I don't attend Weds or Sat kickboxing class, I could lift those nights.

So all the fitness gurus out there... Here's my first question... Kickboxing tends to involve A LOT of pad strikes (full power or/and quick delivered kicking and punching), this is a martial arts class, not an aerobi-cise gym class, there is also a lot of pushups, situps, and core exercises. How to ask this delicatly, an I missing anything by using this instead of "lifting iron"?
