Whew! Sunday's finally here. For a week that was supposed to be for relaxing and recharging before starting the new job, it's been pretty busy.
On the injury rehab front, I've decided to go to the gym six days a week and alternate the shoulder rehab exercise program with the back/glute program Rog gave me. This forces me to do foam rolling and mobility every day. This worked out well this week; however on Saturday I did a group core class which put me over the top as far as my back is concerned. I was hoping it would be more like the class I took a couple of months ago...slower and focused on good form with lots of modifications. Unfortunately, it was one of those "cardio-style" classes with fast pounding music and choreographed ab routines where the instructor does 3-4 slow reps to demonstrate and then does the rest to the tempo of the music. Totally not good for my back. That, along with my shoulder program and all the walking I did for grocery shopping, was way too much and my back was sore by the evening.
Today is for cooking and laundry but mostly relaxing. All my equipment for the new job arrived on Friday so Chris and I spent some time yesterday getting it set up in my upstairs office. I've got some space logistics to figure out but once I have everything right where I need it, it will be awesome because I have all my exercise equipment in there. I plan on using the Air-Dyne much more often since I'll have it right there to jump on during the day. Which I need to do since I don't have the opportunity to walk as much during my work day as I did at NorthShore. I'm still formulating the plan to make sure I do it.
That's about it. I'll be back in the gym early tomorrow morning and figuring out the timing of my new morning routine.
