Madhouse Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 The middle of December marked six months post surgery, and was my point to be able to "do whatever I want", to quote my surgeon.So, we're back now from the holiday break and this week I started leading classes again and enjoying full workouts for the first time in quite a while.It felt amazing to gear up and fight again, I fully enjoyed it. My chief instructor calls me a bulldozer fighter, I typically just get right in there and bang. Love it!Mother of God, my cardio is so depleted!! I was huffing air like I just ran around the globe, holy hell. I got halfway through my sixth fight and had to take a knee for a couple of minutes. But I'm hungry and motivated now, and we have some new recruits that I will enjoy training and fighting with. <thumbsup> <thumbsup>
Magwa Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Welcome back the cardio will return , it is a funny thing it seems to leave ya faster than you can get it back , but I have found once you have it it always comes back...
seasprite Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Glad you got your health back madhouse I remember when I had surgery for cancer I was off for 6 weeks and was driving me crazy so I ended up restoring a boat just couldn't sit around :cookoo:
planeflyer21 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 That's great, Todd!Cardio will come back faster than you may expect.Jon

MikedaddyH Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 It is good to hear that you can do the things that you haven't been able to do for such a long time ! <thumbsup>
Matt.Cross Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Wow, I wish MY complaints were that I only kicked 6 guys butt before I ran out of breath... <laughs>
Madhouse Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Posted January 13, 2013 Don't be impressed Matt, they're only 2-minute fights. :)
shepp Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Wow, I wish MY complaints were that I only kicked 6 guys butt before I ran out of breath... <laughs>I was thinking the same?!?
planeflyer21 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Don't be impressed Matt, they're only 2-minute fights. :)2-minutes is an eternity!When inmates would start scrapping, by proper reality fighting rules they had to keep going until the other person was incapacitated or we broke it up. Even if we got there 30 seconds after it started the participants were usually exausted, looking over their shoulders wishing we would hurry-the-frick-up!I know when I started using those muscles I wasn't used to flexing all the time, 10-minutes of half-speed sparring wiped me out! 2-minutes was about twice as long as I really wanted to hold my arms up. :oJon
unforgiven Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Didn't know you were down brother ,glad you are feeling better. <thumbsup>
