Hi Folks,
Updated: 4/4/20 Workouts #13 & #14
Updated: 4/2/20: Track routine, below.
It becomes more difficult to be motivated to adhere to your strength training program during this time of being homebound. But, it helps to set a time to do the workout on say, Wed and Saturdays; just like going to a class. You’ll be able to rotate the workouts that you have on 3 x 5 cards ( more coming today and during the week). And remember, your energy may not be the same to do the session; don’t decide if you bail or cut it short until you’ve gone through the Warm-up exercises efficiently. Get the muscles warm, get you awake and then launch into workout without hurrying, just execute efficiently with the appropriate rests.
Try to work the key muscle groups, legs, back, shoulders and hips. Even if you get in your 50-100 kettlebell swings plus and upper body exercise; you’re on track.
Set your workout schedule to break-up your work day schedule so you safely get fresh air and if you can even do the strength routine outdoors as we do with the Wednesday and Saturday groups. Yes, that means exercising daily, even it is a run or walk: CONSISTENCY builds compliance, motivation and keeps you on track. Yep, sometimes you don’t feel like getting up and executing: just do it, even it is modified!
Did you know Dr. Fauci (sp?) puts in 19 hour days, but still runs 3.5 miles per day! If he gets it in, we all can do it, no?
4/2/20 THURSDAY 8 am TRACK workout on track? or do on bike path by time. after warm-up run, 2 x 100 (100), 2 x 150 (50) , 1 x 400 (2:30), 8-10 x 200 (or do by time with 45″ – 52″ pickups. Allow adequate recovery and spread out the pickups during the run. Don’t run too fast; just getting in good leg turnover so you don’t lose that.
I mentioned before ( it is good to refer to previous weeks postings), your week may consist of TuThSunday for endurance and MWF for even abbreviated strength work.
