BeckieA’s BodyBlog

I’m helping a friend of mine get in shape for his new job so I’ve decided to spend less time in the gym lifting weights and more time developing some speed and agility. Since I’m not competing this year I think my body will thank me for the change and variety. I bough one of those speed ladders and laid it out on the back lawn the other day and ran through some short drills. Boy you may think these look easy but they aren’t-my hammys were burning like crazy after 10 cycles! next session I will try out some lateral drills and see how that feels

 Unfortunately I’ve been struck down with a bad virus so no training at least this week-got to look after the body if I want it to last the distance right!!

Finally enrolled to get my first aid and CPR cert redone then the next thing on my list is to sit my ACSM exam and get some liability insurance-I have a PLAN!!!

Happy training everyone!!

I have been training but I’ve been so incredibly busy with life in general I haven’t had time to update my blog

Training is going well-I’m doing 3-4 days a week of weights and a fair bit of walking and am continuing to stay leaner than last year despite it being winter here.

I’ve had a few problems with tight hip flexors but thanks to a doctoral physical therapy student in the US,I have made good progress in loosening them up. I guess alot of us hate stretching but once you’ve had injuries and are getting a bit older,then you have to be more diligent about treating your body he way it was designed to function.

I’ve just signed up to redo my first aid/CPR cert next month and I’m hoping to sit my ACSM exam later in the year-its just being so busy at the moment its really hard to fit in all the study!

My eating has continued to stay pretty clean and I guess that contributes to me staying leaner.My midsection is massively tighter than last year and I can see my serratus and intercostals without too many problems..

I just need to find a way to add a bit more muscle on this current diet and keep my gut condition stable because I don’t ever want to have the problems I had earlier in the year,ever again!!!
