Here we go...here we go...here we go.....

Today I was back on the training paddock. Not so much on the bike or a matter of slipping on the runners but it was in the home gym with a foam roller, medicine ball and gym mat. This afternoon I spent 50min working on stretching and core. I had to be gentle as it had been a while since I had ventured into these waters but the work out was a step in the right direction....baby steps.

The first part of the session was stretching and massaging using the foam roller for about 15minutes.



The next part of the workout was using the skipping rope for 30sec and then a series of 10 pushups and then repeating this 5 times. This was a good opportunity to do a little cardo work especially not being able to run or ride for the moment.

Back into the gym for a session of static stretches. The routine that is shown below is one that I have used and developed over time and appears to work well when I actually use it.




The third part of session was a core strength component. Not a big workout on the core strength but enough to introduce the body back into the routine of it...shocking it back into it actually.




The last bit of the session was a skipping set, on for 60sec off for 20sec by 5.

A good session, one  that assisted in my injury treatment and step in the right direction in getting over this injury.
