My coach keeps saying that Repetition is the Mother of Skill. So I'm upping my repetitions. After all, the Great BL says this:

Day 157
Challenges:
Punches and Squats (day 13)
Upper Body Plus (day 3)
Glutes of Steel (day 2)
Programme:
day 26 Hero's Journey Yuk, burpees. 30 of 'em each set! Whose cruel idea was that?! I didn't get around to this until later this afternoon and I lazily thought, ah, I'll leave it til tomorrow. But I knew that when tomorrow came, there'd still be 30 burpees each set waiting for me. So I set my teeth and got through it. And surprisingly, it wasn't so bad. Not good, mind you, but not so bad.
DD with EC = 129. Total DD = 130.
Splits app - Intermediate (day 16)
Front kick prep hold - 10 x 10-secs
Resistance band walks - straight leg and bent leg (wow! doesn't that really burn the outer thighs!)
Leg Stretcher - 5-mins
Online Taekwondo training - poomsae 60-minutes. Elisabeth couldn't come for the general training this morning so I did one of the poomsae classes instead. I'm two behind. I'm glad I only read her text when I was wondering why she was late. I was already in my dobok, you see, and that made it a lot easier to just do the poomsae class.

Day 158
Challenges:
day 14 Punches and Squats
day 4 Upper Body Plus
day 3 Glutes of Steel
(Got tired of the inconsistency of my formatting!)
Programme:
day 27 Hero's Journey I must be pretty damn dangerous if someone sends seven assassins after me! Fortunately they came at me one by one, and (also fortunately) the final one was so tired from the waiting that I was able even to wipe him out. I think, though, in a comp, a few of those last side kicks would have got me some deductions for being too low! 
DD with EC = 129. Total DD = 130.
day 17 - Splits app - Intermediate
Front kick prep hold - 10 x 10-secs
Side kick prep hold - 10 x 5-secs
Resistance band walks - straight leg
Leg Stretcher - 5-mins
Stance drill - L-stance -> long stance -> horse x 40
Miss_Dada A cow? This is SO a frog!

I'd vote cow over frog, looks like it has a muzzle/snout TopNotch
Seven assassins does sound extreme...you must have really got on someone's goat.

Io6 Okay, I admit if you change your focus, it could look like a cow, but if you take the "cow's" ears as eyes, it is SO a frog. Which makes so much more sense given how it's hopping.Comment

Is this Australian humor?

day 18 - Splits app - Intermediate
Front kick prep hold - 10 x 10-secs
Resistance band walks - straight leg
Leg Stretcher - 5-mins
Pattern 5, station 1 x 10
Online Taekwondo training - general 50-min class. Elisabeth couldn't make it again today so I did all my other programmes close on this class' heels and everything was over and done before lunch.
With the leg stretcher, I've been counting the number of turns of the wheel to check my consistency (and 29 turns seems to be full side splits). Today I was interrupted while counting but thought I had counted correctly anyway. I was surprised at how inflexible I was today - and just after the splits app too! I was apparently two turns less than I had been yesterday.
But when I wound it back in, I found I had miscounted and I was actually one turn more than yesterday! I wound it out again to check and yep, that was so.
