I'd say this was me, but I don't do this with shoes |
Yeah, man ... I'm getting through these days, but with nothing but a lot of just plain endurance. I'm just "out enduring" these weeks. Like November, but man, just not quite as long or grey. Just happy that next week is April. Anyway, progress continues but with a slow gradual walk forward.
Physio has been helping - I think I got the bad idea to use my kettlebell to strip a hip adductor muscle from them and actually ended up doing some damage to myself. No, they didn't give me the idea, I just recalled the idea when I was there stretching. Going hard with a piece of metal into your muscles is a good thing, right?
Well, actually, no. It took me a few days to recover from that grinding of my hip muscle into the bell. Duly noted.
Morning routine continues each day - usually in the mornings, but once or twice during this time I got a chance to sleep in and it got done later in the day.
10 minutes of hip and mobility work. baby pose, downward dog, cat cow stretches, 90/90 hip movements, seated groins stretch, World's greatest stretch, planks, hip opening stuff from the physio. Push ups.

Yeah, this is me in Warrior II pose. |
10 minutes of ab work - BJJ leg pummelling, hollow holds, swimmer's kicks, alternating heel touches, hamstring bridges, push ups,
10 minutes of standing stuff - dumb bell curls, dumb bell curls to press. Dumb bell dead lifts, some TRX squats/ squats to face pulls. Standing hip and leg mobility exercises from the physio. Warrior II pose.
During this time I also got to the pool three times a week. Not always the same nights, but I got it done three times a week. The goopy ears/sinuses are drying up and I can breathe while sleeping, which is nice. No update on the BP check, but I'll get that done this weekend.
I understand I should be doing one or two HIIT workouts, but they aren't yet being done. I'll get there.
