Today's proxy for strength training is this:
PART 1. 6 rounds of . . .
- 1 Mini Leg Blaster (MLB)
- 5 situps
PART 2. 2 attempts x Handstand holds: Do a handstand against the wall. Have someone time how long you can hold it. Record your time. Rest as needed between attempts.
Tips: Keep your shoulders active and your elbows locked out. Keep a tight core/midline, and it helps to squeeze your butt together for tension.
PART 3. 6 rounds of 8 pushups: Use perfect form.
For conditioning, go outside and do 20-30 minutes of your choice:
- jogging
- walking
- biking
- swimming
- yard work
.
Ok, so the mlb kicked my ass, but it was also a great workout. I did two 1 minute planks instead of the hand stand, since I didn't want to ask anyone to help lift my legs up. The push ups were good. Walked some with Anna and we plan on taking a bike ride later on. Keep the workouts coming.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I did my squats and OHPs, chin-ups, followed by shuttle-runs. Off to a great start with keeping the workouts consistent.
Planks are a *perfect* sub for the handstand holds. Good thinkin', Phil! The MLB's are always hard, and you'll probably be sore tomorrow, but you'll be impressed with how much you can progress on those suckers over time by hitting them consistently once a week.
