Pandemic Fitness Diary Phase 2 Week 1 Days 2 & 3 I started day 2, Week 1 of Phase 2 well. The pain was down near a 3 or 2. Still careful not to push too hard too fast. Started out with Suspension Based Tabata Style Workout: (See my past post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for a description of these exercises and my idea for alternatives if you don’t have the equipment). 2 Sets of 2 Circuits of: Yard Sprints (More like Yard Jogs at this point. Did this in my bare feet. It was a warm enough day for this. This forces me not to run Heel – Toe, which causes impact on the joints and spine.) x 4, with Suspension Push Ups x 100, Suspension Assisted Low Squats (Didn’t want to chance Pistol Squats. Did this one Holding the Straps and Starting at the Bottom of a Low Squat and coming about ¾ of the way up to keep tension on the muscles and to avoid locking joints) x 100, and finishing with Suspension Rows x 100. Then Crossover Yard Sprints (Made sure to stay on my toes to p...
"Each man binds himself; the fetters are ignorance, laziness, pre-occupation with self, and fear. He must liberate himself, while accepting the fact that we are of this world, so that in summer we sweat; in winter we shiver." Bruce Lee THURSDAY APR 26 : Another beautiful sunny day in Toronto.

Pandemic Training Diary Week 1 Days 5, 6 & 7 I started out Day 5 in less pain than in the previous days, but my energy level was very low. Still not sleeping much. Rather than taking days like this off I negotiate with myself on low energy days that the workout can be low intensity, that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Better less intensity than no workout at all. Today was scheduled to be a Plyometric based workout. Plyometric is just a fancy way of saying bounce. I have one of those Rebounders that sit around in most yards, but you can do all of these exercises on the ground or on the floor. Just be careful to stay on your toes during the standing exercises. When you rest on your heels the impact is absorbed through your bones and joints. When you’re on your toes the muscles carry most of the impact. I’m still using the Tabata based Circuits because they seem to be optimum for keeping your metabolism up. (See my previous post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for ...
