Joey's First Workout

For the first time, Joey had came to a workout with me, at the dojo. He came to pick me up from my house and he drove to the dojo. We got there at like 4:40 and stayed until 6.

Harry started our workout with some slow warming up using a stick. Right after we were done with that me and Joey put on the gloves and stood infront of our own mirrors. We put up them 18 ounce gloves and started with jabs, then moved on to a jab-cross. After that Harry had us do a 3 move combo, hit twice with the first hand then cross with the back. And the last combo we did was a jab-cross, knee.

I noticed that Harry put the timer on 17 minutes. Man I knew it was going to be long. He had me and Joey keep going with the combos. By the time we got through the first cycle of doing all the combos it was about 5 minutes left. After some punches he will tell us to bounce in place. But the thing that made it hard to bounce was keeping our arms up while doing it, if Harry said "Rocky" that means you keep your arms over your head. If Harry said "Superman" you keep your arms straight out. "Scizzors" means you move your arms up and down while they're in front of you. And "circles" means that you make small circles on the side of you.

After them 17 minutes Joey & I dripped in sweat, but Harry wasn't done. He gave us a two minute water break then pulled out the medicine balls and made us lift them. After messing around with the medicine balls for a bit we had to run with them. First he started by having us run with the ball over our heads. I thought my arms were going o fall off today. Lol, Joey thought the same thing.

After finishing the day with some stretches we slowly made our way out the dojo. Tired and in pain, it was about time to call it a day.
