TKD Lesson
It's been a while, so we went over the basics. Punches, front snap kicks, round kicks, knife hands, and then low block, middle block and high block. Leg checks too. Kid was pulling the whole "I can't keep my balance/flopping on the floor" thing again so I flat out told them "Balance is a key part of TKD. I have taught you ALL the TKD you can learn without balance. If you want to learn any more TKD, you will have to find your balance." Suddenly, like a light switch, it was there. Taught the kid horse stance, which was an adventure, but I think we got it. I swear they don't have my genetics sometime, because as soon as they encounter resistance on anything they just quit. That doesn't come from mom either. Finished off the lesson with roundhouses, and they actually looked pretty legit.
In nutrition news, may be switching the post lower body nutrition up a touch. The dried fruit is yummy, but has a significant cleansing effect due to high fiber content. That's not necessarily bad, but can be inconvenient on work days. May consider swapping some of it up for grapes and bananas: both seem to be higher sugar and lower fiber. One of the best meals I ever had was a banana pancake with honey syrup in Bali, and I could definitely replicate bananas and honey post workout and be happy with that. The more obvious solution is rice cereal, but I really want to get more fruit in my diet.
