Late night workout after work, 30 minutes elliptical and 1.25 miles on the treadmill. My hip felt okay, no pain but is a little sore as I write this. My brother-in-law the PT gave me some stretches to do to help my hip get better, I guess its my IT band that is giving me the problems, which is what thought so I will start to work it a little bit and then continue with the stretching and the stiff foam roller to help loosen... I will see how it goes this week and then see how I feel and go from there.

See ya tomorrow.

I was up at 7am and then down to my friend the elliptical, started out with a 10 minute warm-up and then headed over to the good old treadmill for 1.15 and then right back to the elliptical for the programed workout "The Fast Track" this is a pretty good workout as it peaks at 7 on the resistance level and pretty much kicks my butt!!! That workout lasts 20 minutes, I wanted to do a little more on the treadmill but held back as not to over do it, I just want to get my legs moving again and get the old muscles use to the working out...

My hip was okay, it was a little sore but I really didn't feel it during the workout so that is a good sign. I finished with some stretching and I think next week I will start doing some strength on my upper body and just slowly work my way back, I am also trying the Acai Berry supplement and the colon cleanse together just to see if it will rid my body of the unwanted toxins, its all natural so I will see how it goes.

See ya tomorrow.

I waited until after work to do my workout, started with a 10 minute warm-up on the elliptical and I ran 2.15 miles on the treadmill in 20 minutes and then I finished with 20 minutes on the elliptical ( fast track) kicked my butt again! My hip felt pretty good but yesterday I was bringing in the garbage's and I slipped and felt my groin muscle twinge and it is a little sore right now but I guess I will have to deal with it,  Hopefully its not to bad.

See ya tomorrow.

I started with the usual warm-up on the elliptical and then I alternated between the elliptical and the treadmill; 10 minutes running and then 10 minutes on the elliptical. Average pace for the running was 9:25, just nice and easy and then on the elliptical I just kept the RPM above the 90 speed, no resistance today on the elliptical... The hip felt pretty good and the groin seemed to do okay once it got loosened up, so all in all it was a better workout than I have had in awhile so very encouraging;-)

Happy New Year to all of you, see ya tomorrow.

I slept in this morning and it felt good! I headed down to the good old elliptical and did my usual 10 minute warm-up and then ran 1 mile on the treadmill at a 3% incline and then did the fast track program on the elliptical, 20 minutes, and then I finished up with another mile on the treadmill... I pretty much kept the pace slower than I have been as my groin was a little bit of a bother, but I was able to complete the workout which is a positive.  Its time to hit the showers and I hope to just take it easy for one more day and then tomorrow all the Christmas stuff will be coming down, lots of work;-(

 

See ya tomorrow.

I decided I wanted to head outside today and really enjoyed it! My groin was pretty darn good and I think my hip would have done better had I only ran 3 miles as apposed to the 4 miles that I ended up running, it did start to bother me just a bit towards the end. I finished up with 20 minuters on the elliptical and then I stretched and rolled my hip real good, it doesn't feel to bad right now but I will have to see how the day goes. Average pace was 9:06 total time for the run was 36:40, a little faster than what I have been running on the treadmill, but it didn't seem to be that hard so I just did what my legs would let me.

Off to Basketball with my son Ethan, its our first game.

See ya Monday.
