Workout at Firehouse was geared towards legs which concerns me with Ragnar coming up. My legs were already sore from a basketball tournament at work and this probably won't help. I find it interesting how my legs get sore when I ask them to do something a little different than they are used to. It goes to show how running targets specific muscles and neglects the others. I struggle with the exercises that require balancing on one leg (cranes, lunges, etc.) because for the last 10 years I have trained my legs to focus solely on propelling my body forward in a straight line. The workout this morning included a 0.5 mile run and a 1.5 mile run. Couldn't finish all cycles in the allotted 40 minutes so I stayed after to finish them up. After 4 weeks at the gym, I am feeling less like a misfit. I can finally get through most of the exercises without asking what we are supposed to be doing. |
