I didn't take a full two days off from workouts for the weekend. My husband and I rode mountain bikes on the Santa Ana River trail. I pushed to keep about 11 to 12 miles per hour and we did ride about 7 miles. I could feel the same muscles that were worked on Friday. However, trailer camping weekends can be tough. Especially if you are the wagon master and most of the events are planned around food. How many push ups is it for alcohol? Was it 10 per ounce? I didn't even have my champagne hibiscus for breakfast even though I was serving.
Today I figured out that if an exercise is too easy and comfortable, then I must be doing it wrong. It takes a lot of concentration to try and understand the directions and then make sure you are contorting your body in the correct way to affect the correct muscles. I'm not even sure where my "glutes" are. I think I just figured out where the abs are. Seems like I think I have it just right and then Roy comes by and suggests that I flex a slightly different way. Then I can really feel it.
I know that most blogs are more interesting if there are photos, but you need to remember that I am too busy working out to stop and take photos. So I thought I would include an illustration of a plank. It is a great way to build endurance on the abs and also the back.
We did two cardio sessions today, one was twice around running 1/4 of the parking lot with side hops on the short ends and then the full parking lot. Total mileage today was .86 miles. I wonder what fun Roy is planning for our next workout.
