Well, I didn't post last week's routine (sorry, I've been a little lazy) so first let me log my block from last week:

L-Step (1-4)

Cross the top x 3 (5-16)

Up and lunge x 3, exit (17-26)

2-repeater knee (27-32)

I only did this one block, but worked a lot off the ends as intermissions.

For this week, I have 2 potential blocks planned. I'm not sure which one I'll do.

Block 1

Charleston kick x 2 (1-8)

Kick straddle around the world (9-24)

3 repeater kick (25-32)

Block 2

Kick walk around to front (1-6)

Kick walk around back home (7-12)

Boomerang (13-20)

Side leg straddle 3/4 around the world (21-32)

Oh and I ordered bands! I hope they are in for next week's class.
