Workout for 4-6-2019

T-Shirt: Hot Sauce

Music: Just the radio

Today was a movement/stretch day.

Trying to “move” a little better and  to get rid of some “ailments”.

The way we do it is to check for “issues/ailments”. That way we have an idea of what we want to improve.

Then we check a movement/stretch on the left and right side.

We perform the movement on the easiest/most comfortable side for 3 sets of 15 second holds. After doing it on the “easy side” we retest the stiffer/harder/more uncomfortable side. It will be a little easier than the first time tested. Then we repeat the same process again…on the initial easiest side.  Check out: https://totalmotionrelease.com/tmrhome

Afterwards we retest again. Then we’ll retest our initial “issues/ailments” for progress.

Nothing is forced. It’s all done on what is most comfortable side at that point in time.

So…it’s different that just “stretching” or just “yoga”…

These are the moves. Some may make sense just reading but some won’t. Feel free to check out the video.

Workout for 3-23-2019

T-Shirt: 42

Music: Old Stuff

It was a 38 degree Saturday morning.

A small amount of folks showed up and we were still a bit sore from the 100 rep circuit training we did on Monday and Wednesday.
So we just decided to do some stretching.

Not because it would alleviate soreness.

It won’t.

But it would get us moving without a lot of stress.

At least as much “stress” as the past 2 workouts!

Maybe this would be “JOGA” instead of JONESERCISE?
