This week has been a steady progress and developing on from last weeks' gains by allowing a combination of maintenance, core and cardio work. Today was no exception!
After a warm up and lower body stretching, a 20 minutes interval training session followed on the turbo trainer. This provided a good mix of lower group work and cardio vascular training. After a few minutes rest it was time for the wobble board.
This is used to strengthen the knee and ankle joints by forcing mucles which are not necessarily usedall the time. I use slow and steady squats with arms outstretched. It's both fun and a great strengthener and muscle activator around the lower joints. The advanced training will involve weights, but for the time being body weight alone is sufficient.
This adds fun and stimulation to 'spice' up my training - I can't wait for the next session on Sat!
