Working Out at Home - Day 3
Okay, it’s been over a week since I decided I was going to start working out again and I’ve managed to complete three workout sessions. The last three days were out because my MIL and SIL2 were out of town. Today, I decided to do a bit of Yoga with Kathy Smith. As usual, I went back to the basic routine and skipped the floor exercises so that it worked out to be a 40 minute workout with relaxation.
Even though I selected the easy program and I took all the “easy” alternatives that Kathy recommended for beginners, I swear it was tougher than I remembered. Looks like my fitness levels are really at an all time low - either that or age must be catching up with me…
On the up side, my left ankle and my elbows are feeling pretty good even though I haven’t been doing the ankle exercises prescribed to me by the physiotherapist from KLSMC or any push ups.
In case you’re wondering about the push ups, I’ve found push ups to be a really good way to correct the pain and weakness in my elbows. I reckon the problem was a result of muscle imbalance - when you overwork your biceps (such as when you carry a 12.8kg toddler for too long) and your triceps are too weak to compensate. Push ups are a great way to work out your triceps. Yoga Sun Salutations are another great way to work out your triceps.
