Family Plan

With 2 kids and Jen going to the same gym, we qualified for the family plan.

Which meant, it wasn’t any extra for Jen to start taking Jiu Jitsu in addition to boxing.

Which also meant, I could take Jiu Jitsu too.

Work commitments have routinely been keeping me away from my workout nights on Mondays and Wednesdays, but there’s an adult beginners Jiu Jitsu class immediately following the girls classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Why not go? The girls can hang out for an extra 45 minutes (with the other kids of the parents who are also taking the class), and I can get a workout.

And a workout it is. Truly for the mind and body. It’s problem solving and strength all rolled into one. Like climbing, but more strenuous and slightly less dangerous.

Only problem is my shoulder. Remember all that PT and finally cortisone shot I got 2 years ago? Either I need it again or surgery.

We shall see.
