Yesterday I decided to do a run on the treadmill since I haven't really been training much for the 10K4N so I did a bit of a mini run on the treadmill yesterday (just under 3k) I really need to pick up the pace. I then went to (extreme) R.P.M which was a proper killer. I worked that much extra harder, I realised my seat positioning has been low and after discussing my pace with Alison on Wednesday (where I realised I was behind the beat) I tried to stay on the beat as much as possible. I don't know how successful this was (I will ask her when I see her in body pump tomorrow).
Today I did fitness yoga, I find doing yoga helps especially with all the cardio (high intensity) and weights based exercise I do. My muscles are feeling better after today and I'm getting better at yoga. Although fitness yoga is a bit more fast paced and can be pretty difficult. After Yoga, I did body attack. I haven't done body attack in about 3 weeks so it was pretty hard, stayed all the way through to the abs tracks and me and Bee got name called at the end, almost commended by Anita for 'staying all the way through' instead of walking out before the conditioning tracks. We even had a bit of a chat with her after which was nice.
Afterwards did some foam rolling (recommended by Alison, I need to buy one) which helps with lenghtening out the muscles and muscle pain, followed by powerplate stretches. As the instructors always say 'The more you exercise, stretching is the most important part of your routine to prevent injury' and it's very true so Bee and I are both investing time now to continue our stretches after our recovery stretches in the classes.
Tomorrow's exercise will be: Astanga Yoga, Body Pump, Run, Training Session. Although I did get asked today why am I exercising so much?
