Stretching is a hard workout

Muscles were feeling tight today, and after a 1/2 hour boot camp sessions and stretch, my muscles still seem to loosen.  I was  hoping to get for a run afterwork, but thought that it would be best just to give it a rest and concentrate on the foam roller, so at least i managed to get back into the gym.

Its always best to get your body moving even if it's not what you initially planned to do, and at least I did something.  Hopefully get will go out for a run tomorrow morning, after giving my body a little rest.

Bootcamp training consisted of:
  • Ball slams x15
  • Single legged row x10 each side
  • Bear crawls
  • Mountain climber x15
  • Squat thrusts 10kg x15
  • Leg raises x15
4 sets

Doing 1/2 hour of stretching, has to be one of the hardest things to do especially when your body is just full of knots. The concentration and the pain, is so much harder than any obstacle course run. Would highly recommend doing a stretching class as part of your regular routine, trying Pilates or yoga will help loosen, lengthen and strengthen your muscles.

The challenge will be getting the right balance with doing too much and burning out, or just sitting down and not being bothered doing anything. Of course being careful to ensure that no injuries occur theought the next few months.  The first test will be Spartan in a couple of weeks.
