Sunday April 1st Today I completed 50-55 minutes of workout time outdoors. I forgot to stop my watch. When I caught it my watch read "1 hour" but I was already shopping for groceries at that time. (not included in my workout) So, was about 50-55. Today I completed a 30 minute run, bodyweight exercises and worked on my headstand.
The bodyweight portion consisted of 2 sets each (to failure) of rowing motion exercises, pull-ups, chin-ups and triceps presses. I managed 4.5 chin-ups today on my second set! I have been struggling to get 3 or 4 so adding an extra chin-up was exciting.
And, another plus for a Sunday funday workout. I was able to do a full headstand with legs extended and hold the pose for 10-12 seconds. Another exciting moment. It was not the Sirsasana pose yet but the pose with the palms of hands and head on ground. I could definitely feel more shoulder activity as well as core to maintain muscular control. Remember that a beginner would want to strengthen the muscles involved first and utilize a wall to prevent injury.
