Log: Oh the Cramps!
Thought my calf strain was healed and I did a little workout. I shadowboxed a bit, working on my long left hook, pivots and v-slips. On the bright side I’m actually pleased with the improvements in balance and speed in my v-slips and pivots. Can’t wait to break these out in sparring.
But then I tried jumping some rope… Cramp attack at the end of the first round. I take a rest and go for 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical walker, only to get the cramps at the 20 minute mark. Ok, very very discouraging, especially since my trainer will be having me jumping 4 rounds tomorrow.
Must think positive… I’m not old, just over trained. The rest of the evening I’ll be taking potassium, calcium and magnesium supplements and doing hot and ice baths tonight. Hopefully I can hold up tomorrow. I will not miss another class this week.
