The Gym

[JM]

I hurt my back about 6 or 7 weeks ago, nothing serious, just a pulled muscle but it prevented me from being active. I really babied it and put on almost 10lbs. Having had enough I started jumping rope and took off the weight in three days of skipping. The first day was 30 min. stopping only when I hit my shins and starting right back up again. It was too much so I took a day off and did 2 x 20 min. but I felt really tight in the legs so the three day I did 2 x 5 min. with plenty of stretching and 2 x 10 min. The weight I put on was off. Now I jump rope to keep it off and it doesn't really take much time or cost a bundle. I had an old skipping rope in my bag from boxing but a new one costs about $10 bucks at Wal Mart.

I also drink raw milk religiously.

Hitting the beach today in sunny California, supposed to be a hot day. Going to run 15 miles barefoot on the beach.

In sand? Not for me. Too much risk of twisting my weak, delicate ankles. ;-)

Ab wheel, shadow boxing and kettlebells for me.

 

[AmericanSamurai]

Yeah, in sand. I find that it strengthens all my tendons, and more challenging than running on pavement.

I have a hard time running in this dress.

I think its time to work on my kata:

Anyone cycle?

I've been walking or cycling back and forth to work the last few months. I'm thinking about picking up a retro looking cruser or 1980's 10 Speed.

What do you ride or recommend?

Thanks

I'd like to buy a Cycle one day, but right now its not in the budget. Primarily running right now, 6 and sometimes 7 days per week; eventually working up to 80 miles per week.

I use Kajiji a lot and see good used bikes posted for $40 or less.
