Baby steps...

My last TACFIT session with Coach Hurst felt a bit more solid. I have a bit more clarity while doing the sit-thru knee, and kneeling push-ups. It all looks so simple, but once your on the mat and practice the accurate form...it's another story. Kneeling push-ups are taken to a completely different level when you shift your weight forward or back, or keep your elbows close to the body. Sometimes I get to the third round of an exercise and feel like just falling flat on my face. Literally! I can feel my mind resisting, and sometimes that voice is so darn loud that it feels hypnotic. But deep down, I know that this is an 'old voice' and that it does not serve me. Ironically, the only way it may serve me is by me recognizing that it doesn't! Are you confused by now?! (haha!)
My point is that it's humbling! It's physically brutal at times. It works my mind, body, and spirit. I think about how it has changed my approach to moving, and in all of the patterns that I had developed over time. So I realize that I have a quite a long road of digesting this work.
On the days that I am not training w/Coach Hurst, I'll either go to the gym, or move my workout outdoors. I have to say, that ever since I started on the path of Circular Strength Training (and now TACFIT), using traditional equipment at the gym is just plain....boring. What I absolutely love about CST & TACFIT is that you move your body on several different levels. You are using space. The space in front of you behind you, the space on either side of you... Your using the core of every single muscle group. When your using weight, you are swinging clubbells and integrating the whole body. I love the system for that! It's a system that opens up huge learning opportunities. While traditional weight machines were a good learning tool back in the day...I find CST and TACFIT to be a deeper experience for me now. I'm never bored,and always challenged..and if I am bored...then that's on me. It's my responsibility to investigate the reason behind that.
So later on today, I'll post a few things that I've been working on, and will hopefully be able to post a montage of the work that I've done over the past week. I'm off to the park to train!
