Early Morning Musings of a Martial Artist

Ahhh...morning workouts are the best. I have started my early morning workouts again and it feels great to start the day with a good dose of endorphines. Here are some of the things bouncing around my head today:

- Thank you, Lord, for the somber reminder of Easter and how that translates to my own salvation. I'm humbly amazed at what You endured to ensure that I would never have to suffer. I NEVER want to take You for granted and appreciate this life that You have blessed me with!

- Balance and core stability is critical in martial arts success. Without core strength, it's impossible to achieve correct form in kicks and other martial arts manuevers, which is the framework of the sport and necessary for effectiveness. The same holds true in life. If I don't have balance in life, it's impossible to achieve core stability for success. Each day for me is a pursuit to balance my Christian walk, family life, career, martial arts, and other extra curriculars (like fun!).

I have started to rehab my left arm after 3 months of inactivity. I used very light weights and average reps today and was surprised by the fact that I didn't experience any pain or discomfort. I'm going to take it slow, as I do realize a torn ligament is serious business. We'll see how it goes. I'd love to be able to do a push up without pain or risking further injury within 60 days.

If you are reading my post and are a Mixed Martial Arts fan, I have added a new feature to my blog. I will keep an updated schedule of upcoming fights at the top of my blog.

It's a glorious day!

Kihap!
