🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

Day 3 Wall sit
Yoga and a swim today

Derby practice last night was great! Coach's goal is to promote us trainees to the team by the end of the month. As she said, "shit's getting real". I'm still undecided on my derby name but have a list of ideas.

My foot work and speed have improved immensely. I was proud of myself last night for keeping up with a two veteran skaters during timed sprints. Sweat ran into my eyeballs and soaked through my hair. I love it!

I completed day 9 of wall sits this morning at 1:20. Yesterday was more of a rest day, just two long walks with my dog. Tonight is derby practice. Happy sweating!

Work had my schedule kind of jacked up, so I’m doing a push, pull, legs split with cardio on off days.

Haven’t lost any more weight but I’ve maintained my initial losses for like 2
Months, so wins!

I have been a bit quiet up here...
Cause, uhmm... So, that overtraining thingy tendency?

I may have to sit out for at least a week yet, got some tendonitis in my right hip.

Overtraining is bloody stupid, is what it is.

We’ve all been there, take your body’s demand for rest and get yourself back in the game with the lesson learned

Not a pleasant lesson.

But yeah, I made this bed, now I got to lie in it.

This is totally a vibe, I reinjured a bunch of ligaments in my ankle a bit over a month ago, and got super impatient with the healing process.

I don't think I totally overdid it, Pat I definitely limit tested a little bit aggressively and now I'm having to slow down again

Wall sits are great.

Want to lower your blood pressure? Isometric does that better than cardio or strength training.

4 sets of wall sits 3 times a week. 2 min each with 1 min rest in between will lower bp better than the bp pills.

It doesn't even need to be a "proper" wall sit where the knees are at 90 degrees. A 2 min 90 degree wall sit is very challenging and most people can't do it. I know I sure can't.

But I just adjust my depth to something more challenging when my current depth is too easy. Maybe some day I will get to 90 degrees

Nice! I'm just doing a 30 day challenge and slowly increasing each day. I do a lot of skating and other lower body workouts with it. I'm mainly doing them to lower my stance for roller derby.

You know what, I might jump in on this wall sit challenge as well. Sounds like fun, and we can all help keep each other to the challenge.

Afternoon walk with the dog yesterday
Cardio workout last night
Day 2, 30 second wall sit
I'm down 7 pounds!

Inspired to try wall sits. I’m down about 60 pounds, have 15-20 to go and need some strength and to ramp up activity. I walk 4+ miles a day, but my body is getting used to it

I thought they were for strengthening muscles and a way for the circuit trainer to torment us. I won’t grump as much during them and planks then.

They will for sure strengthen your quads. And ummmm other areas.

You won't get bigger necessarily since stressing a muscle throughout it's range of motion is so much more effective at hypertrophy

Other areas? You must mean my ability to string together profanities.

And I do know what you meant

Did my wall sit for today and shot a quick video. It’s actually really boring and I almost didn’t upload it because it’s pretty static the whole time. But there’s proof I survived 1:20


Edited to say- apparently I can’t link to it after all. Nevermind. You’ll just have to believe that I did it.

I believe!

Also I wasn't familiar with wall sits until just now. I'm thrilled by wiki describing it as an "exercise or punishment"

It is nearly a punishment on your legs and butt for sure.
