thanks everyone. and it's great to see everyone keeping up with the workouts. we can do this!
welcome, welcome to the group to our new cathlete. checking in regularly can really help with being accountable.
I just move into our first house. since about mid dec. i hadn't done any planned w/o until this past week. we do have stairs though, which is much different than the 1 story ranch style we were in before. just cleaning the house is a workout, really. that's why i wasn't that concerned i wasn't getting planned exercise. recently though, i noticed my legs don't feel strong like they did before. so i started doing some stair sprints and the squat test i wrote about. i tried to do as many squats as i could. mostly these were in sets of 10. i admit i often lost count, but i did around 300. lots of walking around between sets. some of those were kinda alternating between legs, air punching in a squat position, just to make it more interesting.
i was very surprised i could do so many. that was thurs. felt ok on thur. night. Fri and Sat a lot of DOMS, but it helped to walk around. also did more walking up the stairs. i love the feeling like i'm on a stair master. for free. i always wanted one of those, lol.
sun-today, little bit sore, but i think it's almost gone.
i plan to work on getting stronger this month. should be a bit leaner too, since my legs seem to be smaller than before. which is weird to explain. they feel like jello, and look untoned, but less wide than before. well anyway, once i get the muscle back, should be able to see it.
we have a workout room set up now. no more weight benches in the kitchen and punching bags in the living room and bedroom.
