Welcome. I do tango sometimes and I have a crosstrainer at home so use it as well sometimes but otherwise I am lazy. I used to walk on the beach for 45 minutes everyday before but the last year was a disaster really so got out of that habit. Hopefully will pick it up again this year 😉
Well there’s something we have in common – I also used to practice Taekwondo. Not any more though, too hard on the hip joints. I need something a bit more gentle these days.. 🙂
Yes, I think it is! Great for fitness, confidence and self defense. I have a friend in London whose young daughter is learning it too.
I did Judo when I was in my teens. Also tried bit of Krav Maga more recently, but then I got fed up of injuries and pain… These days I mainly walk, cycle and do little home workouts to stay in shape. The only martial arts I see now is UFC on the TV.
The biggest thing is that you like it. If you like it, you will do it a lot and enjoy the time you spend on it. Getting in shape and being able to “handle yourself” will be the result. I like my workout and how it makes me feel…that is why I am very regular at it.
This looks like fun and great exercise too! I’m still working my way through Christmas goodies but some long walks with my camera in better weather will get me back on track!
Remind me to ALWAYS like your poetry 😀 Just kidding…I love your poetry, despite the kicking stance you have taken. Here’s to trimming the sweets in the new year 🙂
Good for you, Monica! I took a form of Martial Arts and I know how challenging it is. If I had been younger I would have won more then the 3 belts I did. I am so proud of you! You also look gorgeous, so full of life and health! ❤
That’s right Monica
