8/5/10 – New Workout, Now with Modified Lunges
Melissa listened when I told her I needed some help on this. She responded with some modified lunges and new stretches. Like I’ve said before, she is awesome!
I am also having right shoulder issues at present (I clench my jaw, and it goes right down my neck into my right shoulder to create knots and inhibit shoulder muscle firing). It turns out she is awesome at shoulder rehab, too! So, my workouts did not get easier, but they are certainly better for me!
I can now do 12 floor push-ups! Woohoo!
I am feeling stronger and stronger.
All Clear for Running! 4/26/10
Posted by admin in Training (running, cycling, etc.), Try This! on April 26th, 2010
After my last Physical Therapy appointment on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, Travis declared that I am clear for beginning my running regimen! He also video taped me in shoes and my Vibram® Five Fingers. It was so telling and painful to watch for me. You can be the judge for yourself as soon as I get it up here 🙂
Anyway, I have been working out at least three times a week. I did do a walk 1/4 mile, run 1/4 mile, walk 1/4 mile, and run 1/4 mile on Thursday, but it was a little too much. So, the prescribed program below will, hopefully, work better:
Week 1
Day 1 – Walk (brisk) for up to 1 mile, within the mile of walking, run ¼ mile (1.25 total, 0.25 run)
Day 2 – Rest
Day 3 – Walk up to 1 mile with ¼ mile run within this mile (1.25 total, 0.25 run)
Day 4 – Rest
Day 5 – Walk ¼ mile, run ¼ mile, walk ¼ mile, run ¼ mile, walk ¼ mile (cool-down) (1.25 total, 0.5 run)
Day 6 – Cardio – bike, stairmaster, swimming, etc.
Day 7 – Rest
