(Originally posted in GD) Last night I had my first Shaolin Kempo class. My daughter wanted to take up martial arts, and while we were on the subject I decided I really needed a fitness program. I'm 45 and have led a fairly sedentary, self-indulgent lifestyle since retiring from the USAF 5 years ago. In the first 10 minutes I got more exercise than I've had in the past 5 years combined. This little gray mouse was whupped! However, I pushed through and made it to the end without a cardiac arrest or stroke. Other than being a bit sore, I feel pretty good. My wife joined in too, so we have a new family activity. Overall, a positive experience with more fun to come... |
