Well not the most auspicious start. missed my exercises on the first day. so did 2 days worth on 2nd day. was real suprised how sore the leg exercises left my glutes, thighs and hamstrings especially as i do this stuff in training. i had a kbox session with my trainer on Sat morning and when i woke i thought i would have to cancel as my legs were so stiff. i spent 45minss stretching out before i went. does anybody have any good tips for dealing with lactic acid (and please dont suggest stretching down, i do that already)? always suffered from this since my mid 20's. so i did my session and my trainer couldnt figure why i was so unfit. am gonna put this down to my stiffness. i think i was going too deep on the sqats and lunges.
i took the tip about not skipping on a hard surface v seriously as i had my MCL sewn back together 18mnths ago and then i had a serious flare up last november and had to rest for another 3mnths. am hoping it holds together for the duration. to this end the tip about not overdoing it was useful. am sure it will get tough quick enough. anyways i am now doing the skipping in my apartment on a couple of exercise mats. also cuts down noise so the people down stairs wont wanna kill me.
Hey mate, good on you for doing this...best of luck! Not sure on the lactic acid, but definitely avoid jumping on hard surfaces, gave me horrible shin splints the first couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteLook on the bright side, after that day 1 it can only get better. Rock it Allan.
