"Fathers Week" at Taekwondo

This week dads (or father figures) can take class with their kids. So, I took class with Kyla yesterday. Now, it's been years since I did martial arts, but I still remember a lot and still have some pretty good form (if I must say so myself).

But, cripes.. it really showed me how out of shape I am. Not that I thought I was in shape, but I was sweating like a hog after about 10 minutes. And, even though I could do all the jumping jacks, push ups and sit ups they threw at me, I am long from the in-shape guy I was when I wrestled and wasn't a dorky computer programmer.. just a dorky wrestler.

But, the class was fun. I kicked Kyla's ass at sparring, she was impressed by me breaking a board with a jumping snap kick, and we had fun together. Time for a "in shape" change for me, I think.

Maybe I'll come up with a "Workout for Sedentary Geeks" routine. If I did a pushup for every line of code I write in a day, I'd be muscle-bound in 3 months!
