The Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy Weekly Workout

Now, you might ask yourself about the title of this blog.   If you do then it probably means that you have not participated in the workouts that I have been sending you.  

Because many of my student have gotten back to me about the length and intensity of the workouts.  They may have been a little more vigorous than what you are used to in the normal class format.  This is because I would like all of you to be able to come back to classes stronger than you were before all of this craziness. 

Please push yourselves to continue your workouts.  They are more valuable to you now than ever before.  The benefits of greater mental, emotional and physical health are vital as we go though  this stressful event.  

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOURSELVES.  

DO NOT LET THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WIN

RESIST, RESIST, RESIST, RESIST, RESIST, RESIST, RESIST

Your workouts are part of your resistance to the craziness that now grips humanity.
