  First time training with Nick

  Began with light stretching and running on the elliptical for half an hour. My knees were killing me after just moderate resistance and short sprints. Nick began with his usual training at home: 1. Stretching: rotating wrist, forearm, arms, head, hips, toes, ankles, knees in a circular motion both in left and right direction. 2. Feet shoulder width apart, bend at the hip down to the ground to stretch calves. Then go into front stance and stretch groin muscles. 3. Feet wide apart, arms straight out shoulder level. Rotate torso to the right, sweep ground with left hand and twisting torso to the left so right arm now points to the left. Bend back and look up to let right arm swing up and behind (left arm following), and twisting torso to the right so the left arm is now on the right side. My back felt great after this! Repeat windmill motion 8x. 3. 2 sets of kicks. a.Kick as high as you can from the hip with a straight leg, keeping hips square and muscles loose. 10 kicks each leg. b. Inside Crescent Kick, 10x each. c. Outside Crescent Kick, 10x each. d. Front kick to your opposite shoulder, flexing your toes kicking, but pointing your toe back to the ground for balance, then back to normal side stance. 10x each. 4. 20 squats 5. Get into a low horse stance, fisted hands at hips. Rotate hips left into front stance to punch with right fist, exhaling forcefully into the punch. Pull right fist back to hips forcefully into horse stance, and repeat with the left punch. Repeat 10 times each side. 6. 20 squats 7. Hindu push ups. Feet spread wide apart into a half split, hands flat on the floor shoulder width apart. Perform a push up rolling forward, diving head down towards ground and eyes looking up when arms are extended, flexing your arms and rolling back to initial position. Repeat 15x. 8. This set of moves was difficult to remember. a. Horse stance, fists at hips. b. Bend low to the ground with right knee, down punch with left. Pull left hand up to face, and twist into front stance right punch. c. Twist back to the left, bring left foot around and bend below the right bent knee. Punch right. d.
