Joyofsixreboot Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's Friday! Yeah! Did Kettlebell, some evil HIIT thing from fitness blender and a slow 30 minute jog. Gotta break out of my funk. Have a glorious, blessed day everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Jogged 2 miles with all 4 kids...what was i thinking?! Ugh. I consider this a "double work-out" of both body and mind. It's more of a mind work-out for me, and it burns up my energy FAST. Good for you, and you really are planting the seeds for life-long fitness with the dc!

wintermom Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Dh and I got in 2 hours of awesome tennis last night. The last half hour of singles was the real work-out, as well as being my favourite part. If the rain holds off, there will be more tennis today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My knee was sore this morning so I decided to skip a wo. Then I decided to do stretching. Then I decided to add a light warm up. So I did Dense Austen: Easy Mile Walk Easy Stretching Yoga Relax I can bend my knee all the way now! I can do child's pose! I can do a full quad stretch! I'm so excited. Can't bounce on it or jog yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 4 mile run followed by 3 rounds of Turkish-get ups and renegade rows. I tried my strength today, and did a half get up with my 35lb bell. I did it. :) I had tried about 2 months ago, but could not do it, so it felt good to get to sit position with that bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I did it. :) I had tried about 2 months ago, but could not do it, :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Today I did a 2 mile run outside in my minimalist shoes. It's the first time I wore them outside. My legs felt good, but I could feel my calf working harder. I then came home and did kettlebell. I did something new with kettlebell, I did double push-presses, meaning a bell in each hand. I had 26lb bells, so 52lbs total. It was fun, and doing it made me feel strong. :D Which minimalist shoes? I can feel the difference a bit in my calves but especially in my ankles- especially on a hilly run. I guess your ankles are more flexed since there is no heel on the shoe... I'm still working on the transition. My Ascics still beckon when I'm tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildiris Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Starting month 4 of swimming 3x a week with a masters class. Over the course of 4 months I moved out of the slow lane and into the medium lane, learned how to do a freestyle flip turn, a breaststroke turn, and a backstroke turn. I'm in the beginning stages of learning the butterfly. :hurray: I signed up for a "senior" swim meet happening at the end of the month. I need to take 10-15 seconds off my 50s to be remotely competitive, but just getting out there and doing it is good enough for me. I also ordered prescription goggles so I can go boogie boarding again. I miss the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your ankles are more flexed since there is no heel on the shoe... I'm still working on the transition. My Ascics still beckon when I'm tired. I have a pair of NB. I can really feel the difference, and I was afraid to go more than 2 miles. Right now my plan is to work up to 30 minutes once a week, then if that goes well, twice a week. I don't think I could do long distances in them. My heel really turns in, and my right foot lands out to the side. I need some cushining and Superfeet, but I think it may help to strengthen my feet if I use them on the short runs. I'll have to see. If I get any pain I will stop. I've noticed an improvement in my running form since using them (I started in the late fall on my treadmill, once a week). I'm running more upright, and it's even improved my pace. I think that's because I'm engaging my core more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Crazy day today. Jogged 2 miles. Nearly ran over by 2 different teenagers texting and driving. Thankfully I run against traffic and can see the cars swerving off the road. Also was greeted by a very happy, sweet, LARGE Rottweiler puppy and by greeted, I mean jumped on mid run. The kid walking her was probably 10ish and tiny. Push mowed my lawn as well. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
