Thread: NG's Cheery Shape-up

Nt.. Hey there! Nice to see you here! yeah, it's one of those sacks you hang up.. it's pretty heavy.. 40 kg, about 80 pounds, filled with sand.. It's really fun.. worked on it for 30 mins today, s w e a t y!

P, good girl! I'm glad to hear (read ) that you're following doctors orders! I would have to slap you if you didn't! lol
Yeah, you should def. get a bag like mine.. It's a lot of fun.. I have really weak wrists though.. doesn't match the rest of my body.. ..and hurts like sh*t when punching long.. They will get stronger eventually though!
Have a great recovery!

I bet you were sweaty girl!! Those things really help take the frustration away!!!! HAVE FUN!

LoL~ Ya, Yesterday morning you should have slapped me, but I did much better the rest of the night..and today~ and for a long time!
I am on my painkillers right now..lol.. sooo I can't think straight..and My hands are shaky!

Have a great day honey!!

awww man... I missed ya! I was trying to type that while you were still online. Oh well..Have a good night girl!

NG!
hey...I've got a life too....a small one, but I do have one..I even had a real life date last night too...



Did I get bitched at by the BF?
What does this mean? Am I in trouble?

Ville bara kika in o säga hej... Hej hej...

Tack för igår... Ha de härligt på jobbet...!!!

Din,
HBSR

PMS bag? that's funny. Are you using wrist wraps when you are punching? They've got the regular old fashioned wrap ones, and I think they've got newer ones.

I bet mmafiter can help you with good wrap info!

Hey P, yeah.. you just missed me.. *sighs* I was only online for a couple of minutes..
You should probably take it easy with those painkillers.. Shaky hands? I would be scared.. But I'm such a wimp with pills and stuff..

B, no, you're not in trouble.. He didn't write anything about you..
I'm glad you have a life.. How was the date?
Yeah, I could probably use a pair of wrist wraps.. hmm, I'll have to go to the Budo store and look into it.. My wrists are really sore and weird today..
I also did a bad kick which twisted my knee some..

Hey! good morning!
Wahoo! Not in trouble! (but did he say?)


Definately get wrist support! Today!
I had a snow boarding wipeout two seasons ago, that still plagues my right wrist!

The date was great! We went to dinner, then back to her place to watch Monster's Inc. (I kow, not exactly romantic, but she wanted to watch it)
...and I cannot divulge the rest....


seriously, get those straps before your next beat up the bag session!

You really think I need straps.. I'm just a wannabe puncher, not a pro or anything..

Glad your date went well! Are you seing her again? I love Monsters Inc!!! I really do, it def is one of my fav movies! It's ADORABLE!! I've seen it like 4 times!

straps? YES!
If you are punching something...heavy....it won't give. Where do you thik that force is going to go once you make contact with the bag? Your wrist is the weak part of your arm in the punch. You need to strenghten it up; i.e straps!
you can and will do damage to them if you do not protect them.
Do you use a lifting belt when you squat?
Safety, hon.
Besides, you already figured this part out:

"My wrists are really sore and weird today.. "

Have you taken any classes on the correct way to throw a proper punch?
If you are throwing your pnches and hooks with correct form, yo'd also get more out of the workout!

do you ski / snow board?
how long? Good at it?

Ok B, you win.. I'll get some straps!
I have taken kickboxing lessons and learnt how to do it properly.. I'm still practising though.. and would probably need some more classes..
Actually, I don't use a belt when squatting.. I tighten my abs and do it with good form.. never felt any pain in my lower back..

Snowboard? Yep, sure do.. I've been doing it a few seasons.. 3 years I think it is.. lots of fun!

cool! I will be going into my thrid season this year! Do you jump, do tricks?

I do not use my belt unless I am going heavy when squatting. That is the only time I use it. It cracks me up when I see people using belts for EVERYTHING!

Good girl on the straps!
Get some black ones! you'll look that much 'hotter' when doing your workout! On your kickboxing classes you tok, were they actual kickboxing or kickboxing areobics? I am jsut askling, 'cause if real kickboxing, I'd go ask for recommendation on either straps or a bag glove, or both.

Hey.. I've got GLOVES already.. told that way ip in this thread.. That's why I got confused.. should I use straps under the gloves? It was kickboxing aerobic classes.. I learned the basics and that was what I needed..

Do the gloves have wrist supports?
The gloves will protect your knuckles, but not your wrists if do not have the proper support. I believe you can put the wraps under the gloves as well.
I'd seriously go and ask at a boxing club at lunch today?

Well alrighty then DAD! No, thanks B, it's very sweet that your looking out for my wrists.. I will look into it.. Won't happen at lunch though.. No boxing club anywhere near here.. would feel kinda stupid too since I feel just like a wannabe.. I would love to learn to fight properly.. I'd love to get into martial arts.. But I'd get very impatient in the beginning, when all they teach are postures and greetings and stuff.. I wanna FIGHT!

I'd settle for big cousin...not dad....


Mywrist is fuq'd and you do not want to go thru what I am. I haven't had a bicep workout in months.

You're too funy w/the martial arts thing. If you do not want standard arts, go for the kick boxing then. Go kick some ass, girl!
Get in teh ring!


..and...all good fighters NOW, were wanna bes then. Make sense?
thus endith the lesson.

I'm still alive... barely Just busy with work and life stuff, and trying to keep the 4.0 gpa thingie I've somehow managed so far. No doubt that latest exam will take a bite out of that though in Management class. Oh well.

Sorry I havent been around too much. Nope, havent been cheating. In fact, havent really gained any bad weight. Just got a new house and am looking into home equipment. Just dont feel like traveling to the gym here in the Winter time when its snowing and stuff. Plus, I only have one car for the garage so theres a bit of extra space. Thinking a Bench, some dumbells, some dip bars, pull up bar and somewhere to squat.

PMS Bag, I bet Rob volunteered to buy it for you

I havent actually hit the gym much lately. Mostly due to moving houses, being busy and at work I move around 18,000lbs of boxes individually by hand every day. I kind of like the work, because it gives me time to think... but if my Dad wasnt running the company I'd probably go for something that wasnt quite so menial.

But anyways... life is good and all that. I'm going out with a friend now whome I've known for 8 years. Unfortunately she is finishing up school in another state right now so I'm filling my days up as much as possible. She's really cool, grew up in Europe, and we get along really well.

That reminds me, have to call her. Oh, go skiing for me this winter. Its flat here in Chicago, utterly pathetic.

Eggs

Hey Eggie! Nice to see you again! I can tell you have been busy! I recognise how you feel about your job.. It’s the same here at my work.. Dad’s company, not many braincells needed.. I like it though.. My sister is here too and it is nice seeing some more of her.. I took her for a double date with Rob’s friend and Rob last week and they seem to hit it off pretty well.. Really nicew for her, she’s met some nasty guys before.. *frowning*

A new girl? That is so great! I’m so happy for you! Was about time you found someone special! How long have you been dating?

There’s some nasty noice in here right now.. they are drilling in the floor and the whole place is shaking.. I’m at work and I’m sitting in something which feels like a monkey cage.. An office with glass walls, where everyone can see if I’m not working.. So I’m being very discrete.. I’m using word and do some copy and paste work..

School’s going good too? That is wonderful! You seem to have a lot going for you right now! I’m trying to descide what to study next year.. I haven’t looked in to it as much as I need.. Better do that real soon..

My PMS bag is great! No, Rob didn’t suggest it actually.. But he thought it was a great idea ! I can’t imagine why..

Take care my friend! Be sure to visit soon again!

NG

morning, NG!
Well, this will be the last night to 'hang' with you for a couple months! I'm going to the day shift on Monday!
IO've got this weekend off.

Oh, I talked w/ friend of mine...you cna put the wraps on under your gloves..but wear the wraps!
ok, enough.
Did ya work out yeterday? What? whate are you doing today?

Monkey in a cage, eh? Sounds more like ant under a magnifying glass...

Hey B!

That's nice for you to start working like a regular human again.. And to be awake during the day!

Ok, I will def get the straps this weekend! Thanks for talking to your friend! I'm still sore actually and I really wanted to box yesterday, but my wrists stopped me..
My workouts yesterday was:
*45 min biking before b-fast
*weights: legs (wasn't the hardest workout I've had, but I am sore today)

Today my workouts will be:
*Did 60 min powerwalking before breakfast (at 05:00 AM )
*Will train Shoulders and Abs

Yeah, the ant thing is probably more right.. The monkey thing is a swedish expression..

How are you today?

I'm good!
with all that hard core cardio, you must have seriously toned legs!

How you can wake up and do cardio...I tried..and failed. Ok, I go to the gym before I go to workon this shift, but I have been up for a couple hours and have eaten. Winter is coming......mornings are cold....and getting motivated to do cardio prior to work, instead of the extra sleep, then into a hot shower....will be hard!

Not as fun, but could you shadow box until your wrists feel better?

are y'all planning on going to Germany for Octoberfest this year?
There is one here tonight. I am going with some friends for beer and brats, then on to the club to work.

I miss the real one in Munich!

No.. not going to Germany.. I'd like to go there skiing this winter though.. or Austria or Italy.. We'll see.. Maybe..

Morning cardio isn't too hard.. It was really cold this morning though.. and as I left my bed I really felt like going back.. All you need is a strong willpower! Once I was out I enjoyed it.. But I did long for my breakfast!

ha!

I did make it skiing once while in Italy. I am ticked at myelf for not going more! I hated doing that stuff by myself, but like this past season, I ended up going 'boarding mostly by myself. Damn, I'm dumb! I seriously doubt I'll ever get back to Europe...especially to 'board!

I cannot wake up even with 3 alarm clocks in the room!

Hey NG!
I had paizza yesterday too.....cheese pizza. It actualy wasn't too bad w/ out any meat on it...
That girl I just started dating is a vegetarian...so I just got the cheese pizza....

How are your wrists doing?

Hey Nike!! Glad you had a great weekend hon!!
Oh yummmy Pizza.. how wierd..I was craving that yesterday.. but I had French Fries instead!

Have a great day honey!

Hey Nike, sounds like you enjoyed that Pizza Good to hear.

Actually, havent been dating her all that long. Not nearly as long as I should have been...

I'm glad your sister is really enjoying Robs friend. Yep, there is alot of trash out there that its easy to get hurt by, I hope Robs friend treats her well. You like double dating too? I really enjoy going out with my sister and her bf, atleast I know the company is good then and we always have something to talk about.

The old copy and paste routine huh? Haha. Hey, if it works... cant beat it.

Well, what are you interested in? You dont have to declare right away... do you? Or is your University system different over there? I'm going into Business Management, but I'm undeclared still just because I dont feel like boxing myself in any more than I have to. Plus, I only really choose classes that I like anyhow. At this rate it'll take me 10 years to graduate

Hope you have a good week.

B, yeah.. the pizza sure was good! A vegeterian?? hmm.. ok.. But why does that make you having to eat a non-meat pizza?

P, yeah, I had a great weekend! Are you feeling better yet?

Eggie.. well actually, our system is totally different from yours.. You have to declare it right away.. You deside on one program and you when you finish it you get the degree.. If you change your mind, you quit that program and have to start on a new program right from the beginning.. Kind of sucks, I like your system better..

Yeah, my sister is enjoying Rob's friend.. I think they're seing each other again tonight.. I hope it works out..

I want to hear more about your girlfriend!
