I am not an athletic person. Most of the athletic endeavors I’ve pursued in life, I’ve had to earn them through hard work. Here is a glimpse into my weekly training routine. I’ll post this along with my Weekly Teaching Recap once a week so you can see what I’m up to. Maybe this will give you some inspiration for your own training. See you on the mat!
