Day 3: Slowing Down
Hey guys! Checking in here from Day 3 :) As you recall, yesterday I realized that I should NOT run two days in a row. Today I took that lesson to heart! Instead of tiring out my muscles repeating the same motions yet again, I took it easy. Except for some games of chase with the puppy, I didn't run at all! Instead I concentrated on some bodyweight exercises--a few sit ups, an even fewer amount of push-ups, squats, lunges, and calf raises. It was a pretty light workout, but it was just what I needed today! Tomorrow I'll run again.

Yay! Puppy chase totally counts. Friendly PSA: make sure you are doing pushups with correct form. I tried to start exercising in January (including pushups) and thought I was doing it right. Two weeks later, started having pain in my wrist. Turns out I tore a ligament in my wrist. Had to have surgery. Just listen to your body and do everything in moderation. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteGood note! I'll have to brush up on my proper push up form :D Although I'm really not doing very many of them at this point! Hopefully I'll get stronger soon!
