Ethan, 5 months, let us sleep well although Edie, 3 years, came in at 05:30 so an early workout was on the cards. With Dora the Explorer on in the background I changed up the routine and tried to max out on each exercise in sets. I did:
Horizontal Rows on FlexStraps, then suspension press ups on FlexStraps, then a bunch of different types of squats, then lots of elevated half bridges, then reverse crunches, side plank raises, adductor and abductor lifts and finished with a set of pull ups. A good workout taking in the Gravity Advantage fundamentals and a good selection of the ElasticSteel stuff too.
What next?
Well, we're 'doing' the garden, so I shoveled gravel out of the garden for 4 hours. I must have done about 500 deadlifts with a shovel full of gravel. Then I had to shift 10 rubble sacks full of gravel which must have weigt about 40 kilos each. Then I had a shower and rested, until the carnage continued with the children.
Tonight, after dinner and before wine, I did some ELC and then a hard stretch following front splits routine on both sides. I think my hip flexors are moving, great news.
What now? Sitting in bed, writing this after dealing with my youngest waking just a few minutes ago - I am such a hero ;o) - and listening to a Russel Brand podcast.
Tomorrow? I'll start the morning with joint rotations, light stretches and maybe a bunch of wide squats then I'll go the play park with Edie and do some climbing. The whole rest of the day is wiped out with a family thing so maybe in the evening I'll do some ELC and Side Splits rountine.
I must find some time to practice towards my 3rd Degree too.
Night.
