Today’s Workout

This is a really good hip opener.

I’m going to re-think my one rest day of the week. I woke up earlier than I wanted to this morning. Stiffness, aches, and pains disturbed my inner peace and sleep. Maybe I need to do some easy mobility work on my rest day. Just to get the blood moving a little. My age doesn’t make me feel old. Feeling stiff all over is what makes me feel old. Going to focus on mobility work today and get this stiffness out of me.

My hands and feet also feel like they are swollen. I suspect this is because I’ve been eating a lot of restaurant food. Pretty sure that means more sugar and salt than I normally consume. Add to that the fact that the plus 100 degree heat has made staying hydrated a challenge. Planning on taking a good old fashioned South American siesta during the hottest time of the day in a nicely air conditioned room.

Going to watch what I eat today and my water intake. Plan seems solid. Time to get the workout started.

Today’s Workout Description

Thailand Date: 27 March 2023 | Start: 05:11 | Finish: ?

Warm up: Started with about 10 minutes on the stationary bike. Nearly finished listening to Jean-Pierre de Caussade’s Abandonment to Divine Providence on audiobook. Parts of this book were like a kiss on the lips. There were other parts however, that I thought lacked a proper balance. I will need to think more about this one.

I was very deliberate with 1 pound Indian Clubs after the bike. Pain in my left shoulder as I was sleeping is part of what woke me up so early.

No jump rope today….just didn’t have the juice.

Main Work: Mobility work on the floor. It’s been too long since I’ve done this sequence and it felt like it too. I should probably look to do this at least once a week. I didn’t track the time, but it usually takes a little less than 30 minutes to do these exercises.

Cool Down: Not much of a cool down needed. I when outside and repaired the fence, put a little paint on the gate, and cleaned up around the yard. That was all I could do as the sun was starting to get high, so it was time to get back into the house before it got really hot.
