Running? I don’t think so… September 24, 2008

Digg! this story.

I did get to the gym this morning but I’m still quite sore from running on Monday. Couple that with lots of dynamic tissue (jiggling fat) and running was just uncomfortable. Instead I cranked the treadmill incline to “5″ (what DOES that mean?) and walked at a brisk pace. I was pleasantly surprised that my heartrate stayed up.
I finished the workout with more ITB exercises. What I do is grab the BoSu ball and stand on it with one foot until fatigue sets in. Luckily, this doesn’t take long. Then I flip the BoSu so the round side is down, and balance with one foot. The stabilization my body tries to do strengthens the lateral muscles in my legs. Just by doing these simple things keeps my knees healthy and pain free. Gotta love physical therapists. The last thing I do is lay on my side with my knees bent and do little “clam shells” with my knees while keeping my upward-facing hip directed forward a bit. Not only does this also help my knees but it also strengthens pathetic little butt muscle that I have been tormenting during riding Tigger.
Krisiti’s husband is going out of town for a week beginning Saturday. Do I have enough motivation to continue while she’s on hiatus? We’ll see…
I get to ride Tigger tomorrow! Yay!
