Woke up yesterday very stiff from the fall the night before but I'm still in one piece. Thought the walk to work would loosen me up and it did. Lunch time, it was off to see Kalev - thought he would go easy on me with my "injuries". Not so!! Do you know how many exercises there are that do not affect the hands or knees? Well, he found them and by the end of my session I felt sick. That seems to be the benchmark for a good workout now. If I feel sick to my stomach, I've worked hard enough!!! Day wasn't finished yet - it was off to a run session at Forerunners for an interval run session. Lots of people!! What they do is take you out for a 10 minute warm up, then intervals of 2 min. hard, 2 min. jog, 3 min. hard, 2 min jog, 4 min hard, 2 min jog and pyramid back down - then a 10 min jog back to the store. Even though I felt stiff to start, I was able to pick it up and felt good by the end. The Chi Running sure makes a difference. In fact, one of the runners from my group commented on my running style so I had a chance to tell her about Chi Running. Then it was home a quick snack and bed.
Today I woke up still feeling stiff. I was going to go to the gym at lunch but felt my body needed a rest so I did a core workout at work. I do a pilates workout - it's a mix of Windsor pilates along with a few more core movements that make it a bit harder - I've been doing this workout for over two years and have absolutely no back pain and if you have been reading my blog, my back has been the major issue in my life since birth.
I'm just about ready to head home from work and then it's off to a spin class tonight. That should work out some of the stiffness!?!
