Awww thank you Slugsta - nice hat btw
Right off to the gym to practice the exercises the physio showed us - got cramp in my hamstring on Monday when I attempted to do a bridge! Guess I've been doing planks too long - they just give me a bit of a disco wobble. Will be keeping 2 feet on the floor today! Anyone got any tips? Am not sure how long I'm meant to try and hold for....p.s keep having to edit my posts as the smilies are not playing??
Well I held for a count of 20 ish - a quick count I have to say but was working on holding until I felt my back start to engage - I assume that's the same as when you get the shakes doing the plank telling you that that's enough?
How was your ball on Friday? I hope you replenished your glycogen levels after all that hard training
I'm trying to 3 sets of planks every day, but it's my least favourite exercise. I think I need to set myself a 14 day challenge to complete 3 sets a day, building up to a minute by Christmas. Is that possible?!
Hey Gemma - I know phew eh - isn't it horrible trying to choose? I want to vote for everyone I had a chance to chat to! (Sorry to those I didn't).
The ball was brilliant thanks - we made it just in time for dinner (thank goodness - amazing how hungry I was). They'd done the mess up as Hogwarts - it looked brilliant. Am looking forward to the photos now.
Good luck with your plank challenge - I don't know if it's possible in such a short time - it wouldn't be in my world - I can only get to a count of 25 before I feel the tell tale quiver! I'm not sure you should be doing it every day though - thought strength work was only 2 - 3 times a week or every other day?? I only really do a bit in winter so I'm no expert.
Right - it's semi-light - time to run.....
On the 3rd day of voting Sleepy gave to thee
A bit more background 'bout me....
I think we should all go to Paris now, why split up such a fun bunch and without the team how will I pace myself.
Reading your forum thread comments has reminded me to work on my core.....perhaps tomorrow!
Hey TOR - I like your thinking - and since the links aren't working and no-one can vote anyway - maybe they should just send us all!
The only core I'll be working on today will be that of an apple! Peace and quiet are the order of the day here - christmas party recovery session! Should keep the mood-hoovers happy too.
Ahhhh feeling much more human now
Has anyone else noticed - the voting links go to a shoe review if you use firefox? Is it my machine I wonder. They're fine in IE.
Is there something I need to change?
Lesson of the day - spikes are the business but remember to tape your heels up next time!!! I reckon a bit of rubbed off skin might be better than falling on my face though so I can live with it!
Thank you to the kind man who helped me up today when I fell over a tree root covered in leaves. He must have been a super human - I barely toughed the floor and found myself back on my feet. What a hero! Thank you universe for letting him be nearby at the time
Well folks - time's nearly up! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this thread. Regardless of what happens next it's been a pleasure to have taken the plunge and thrown myself into the forums. Now I have, don't know what I was worried about before. So that's where I'll be....
