Recovery status

posted over 2 years ago

Feeling sore today....perhaps it's the lack of cold/hot tub therapy. Left Ilio Soaz is acting up causing some issues with lower left back. Pectoral muscles are tight as well leading to some left elbow discomfort. Did trigger point therapy on Ilios and pecs which relieves the elbow but and some relief to back.

Used NIKE FREEs on my "jog" yesterday. But knees are fine.

Adaptation at work. Hopefully, will be ready to roll tomorrow!

It's amazing how sore I get from basically throwing a medicine ball against the wall, floor, and at the ceiling!

Reload Week

posted November 2007

About every 10 weeks I do what "Core Performance" calls a reload week. Reload consists of a couple of days of moderate cardio...500 calories in 40 minutes. Then 2-3 days of light work, cardio for 30 minutes at a HR target of 120 for me or 65% of Max. I also do ball rolling and hot and cold therapy.

Recovery Day Routine

posted November 2007

1/2 hour on the ball, 50 minutes on the bike at 117 heart rate, 5 minute core routine, 10 minutes AIS, 20 minutes in hot and cold tanks. ONLY issue is left hip flexor. Bothered me when going to sleep.

Future instructor?

Approached today by head of Gym's Director of Group exercise and asked if I was interested in becoming certified to teach spinning and Yamuna. Going to consider it! Especially Yamuna....which I'm a faithful follower of!
