. . .Saving my poor knees from running!
I was all ready to get in a 3 mile run today, but I'm taking this nasty storm that just blew in as a sign from the Gods that it's not meant to be. Sometimes you just can't argue with nature, right?
Well, Tuesday's kickboxing turned into waking up Wednesday with some serious soreness about my upper body--specifically through the chest and delts.
So, I puttered around and did some biceps and figured it would be a good day to focus on legs.
Wednesday:
Alt. Supinating Bicep Curls: 1x15e x 15, 1x6e x 25
Lying Extended Pull-ups (underhand grip): 1x14xBW, 1x11xBW
Squats (or the version that Ginger's trainer calls deadlifts-I have a secret name for them that I shall not post here.): 1x20x65, 1x15x75, 1x10x85
Glute Lunges: 1x15e x 20, 1x10e x 30
Went to the stairs and ran 15 laps, avg. HR 129, which is smack-dab in my prime zone, so felt just dandy about that! Did 5 at a time, then walked down and around the hill, the 2nd time down, did walking pendulum lunges. Looked like a complete moron, thankfully I no longer possess an ounce of pride.
Knees have been really bugging me, thinking it's time for new shoes. Kind of relieved I have the storm as an excuse not to go run, just not feeling it today. Plan on getting in an all-over med. weight workout later with emphasis on balance. Busting out the wobble board today!
