After a nice rest day yesterday, my first strength and conditioning session was on the plan for today.
As I mentioned on Wednesday, it did include the evil burpees. To be honest, I couldn't remember how evil they were, they were worse than my memory...
Will need a lot of practice I think. But luckily I haven't seen them in the next workout!
After a warmup and some hip openers which were all fine (except for the burpees), I had a 15 minute workout planned where I had to do as many rounds as possible for a series of exercises including more burpees.
All I can say now is OUCH.... Wonder how I will feel tomorrow.
I might have mentioned in my first post that I haven't exercised for quite a while. A shoulder injury has stopped all my workouts since June.
The only thing I have done since is the bike leg of a triathlon (which was painful for the shoulder). I even had to walk the bike to the bike shop, as I couldn't pump the tyres myself!
And lots of walking and a bit of running. But no strength training at all.
So today was a bit of a shock to be honest. But, I suppose you have to start somewhere.
Tomorrow is another rest day, although I've been asked to record my running, so as to work on technique over the coming months. So will do a little bit of running (if I can move at all).
1 mile run (as fast as possible) is on the cards for Sunday. Till then...
