Snickerdoodle Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, your goal is to do MMA and not sustain injuries from being inadequately conditioned. :boxing_smiley: (I say as I'm all bruised up from last week's training) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, your goal is to do MMA and not sustain injuries from being inadequately conditioned. :boxing_smiley: (I say as I'm all bruised up from last week's training) That's a good goal. My ankles used to bruise from plyo. I was shocked the first time it happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Got in 2 hours of mixed doubles tennis last night, which was awesome! I forgot to use the massage roller on my legs and I`m really feeling creaky this morning. Dh and I have 2 hours of mixed doubles tennis tonight, followed by the weekly wine. Should be a great finish to the week. :hurray: It`s -25C with windchildd of -30 this morning. Like a broken record. I`m really looking forward to spring. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Haven't missed any WO this week but probably will miss all MA. I'm feeling just under the weather enough to have no oomph and that could be a recipe for injury at MA. Being smart kinda sucks sometimes.... but still better than an injury- so good for you. I got in a bonus kettle bell class last night. I have a date with my dear love, Mr. Epsom, later today. Frustrated with my lackluster push-ups I asked my Kettle bell instructor why I've not made progress and he sent me this article this morning: https://www.t-nation.com/training/best-damn-push-ups-article-period It's really long but if you persevere to the end there are a series of logical progressions for women that focus on perfecting technique as you build strength. You find your current level and start at that progression. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I enjoy reading at TNation. Dragon Door also has a Kettle Bell forum, because that's exactly what you need, another forum to read. LOL Today WO stretch roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Go Negin! Probably doing the instructional video again today. I think I'm getting a few things wrong. Maybe some yoga too, but the instructional video is pretty exhausting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Today was brutal followed by let's really go in for the kill on tired legs. The squat pulses had me swearing. Now, to drink my coffee. From a long straw. While flat on my back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 after the car accident (I was sitting at a red light) that twisted the bones in my lower leg making it very painful, and the virus that wouldn't go. away. (seriously. SIX. WEEKS. and I'm still coughing. my dr asked me if I was asthmatic. no. gave me an inhaler. Sudafed and mucinex worked better.) I walked to day. it actually helped my leg too. I could feel it loosening up. my chiropractor says it's doing much better as well - but my foot still hurts if I haven't been moving as much as I should be. now - to get back to yoga . . . . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Weather has kept me in most of the week, so I've been doing Wii-fit. I like the obstacle course on Wii-Fit plus and really sweat hard doing it. I've been slack about strength training, but maybe I'll do it after I type this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Lots of sleep again, nothing yet. I'm having a pedicure this morning, so no time to workout. Hope to either swim this afternoon or to do a Classical Stretch or two. I'm going through one of those crazy workout planning phases again. I may be posting here with questions. Bear with me! :lol: after the car accident (I was sitting at a red light) that twisted the bones in my lower leg making it very painful, and the virus that wouldn't go. away. (seriously. SIX.

wintermom Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Another 2 hours of mixed doubles tennis last night, which was great. Today I'll be at the local community theatre helping with set painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today- lots of time so yoga, an hour of elliptical and kettle bells. Reishy-love my push ups. Off to see what all I'm doing wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I rocked the weights at the gym this morning :D Dh hadn't seen me lift that much ever.

rieshy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 2 hour open mat, kettlebell: just simple and sinister, if I can get home in time I want to fit in a long slow run... We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Friday I ended up resting. I've been having a weird allergic reaction to an acne cream (at least I think that's what did it. It's the only thing different this week). My right eye and my nose were swollen like a balloon. I ended up at the doctor's office for 2 shots and then I took benedryl. I didn't even want to do yoga all day. The swelling is going down, but I look like someone beat me up Today I was able to run. I did 7 miles, which was enough time for 2 episodes of House of Cards (with my stretching included) :D I'm hoping for some restorative yoga before bed.

rieshy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I got my run in: 4.5 miles- in SUNSHINE - I had to strip to my tank top just to feel the rays on my skin. Take care of yourself Kim- allergic reactions are no fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Walked each day. Did some yoga-type stuff in front of the telly tonight - I should do that more often, to make my yoga classes more worthwhile. I have a lot of flexibility, but the strength is taking longer to build. I remembered what I did last Monday - I had a hospital appointment, so rather than circling the inadequate car park, I parked a couple of miles away and walked over. I couldn't pick up speed - I didn't want to be sweaty for the doctor or for work afterwards - but it was something. Oh, and one afternoon this week both my colleagues were out, so I spent ten minutes running around the office.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
