Man, this week has been crazy! This is the first full week of classes and life is busy again.
This week I have stuck to my training plan really well. Monday I cranked out a 3 miler on the treadmill with the same pace as last week's. Yesterday I attended my first "Strength Training for Runner's" class at the University. It was a combination of floor work, weights, and plyometrics and holy crap am I sore this morning. The craziest move of the night? A core exercise!
Start like this: kneeling on the floor, legs tucked under you and feet flat.
Then, use your core to quickly jump up and flip your legs under to a squat position. Repeat 10x!
Today I was planned and ready to go to yoga to stretch my sore legs but when I got to the class it turns out you had to RSVP first! I didn't read the email clearly enough so I went home to stretch.
After more microbial genetics reading, it was time to clean. I found the swiffer mop was out of mop pads to wash with. So I problem solved:
Now I'm going to go hang out with this cutie:
Anyone ever seen that move before in a fitness class? My legs are so sore!
Two things: are those some Cabin Fever bottles on the window sill? Also, one of those pictures is kinda...stretchy.
ReplyDeleteYes! and yeah... haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Gotta love duct tape!
ReplyDeleteI have seen it before but usually see people do the modification of it which is to stand up 1 leg at a time remaining in a low squat. Your version is much better!!
ReplyDeletedude. duct tape and improvisation for the win. Also, i must say, that core/ leg exercise you show seems awesome but very hard. I've never seen it before
