Workout 3

Saturday April 7th A light workout today.  Did a light 25 minute jog and some push-ups.  No plan today other than to just get outside for a run. I'm trying to periodize or structure my weekly workouts into 2 or 3 stages or microcycles: heavy, moderate and light days. The plan is to workout 2-3 times per week. 

My goal is to maintain 3 weekly workout sessions per week utilizing a structured plan. For instance, next week my goal is to workout at least twice: one heavy day and one light or moderate day. I always have a days of rest between days of activity.  Sometimes, as with this week, two or three or four days of rest between workouts.

Today, I didn't do headstand work.  I did however see where I am at physically with the handstand.  I was able to get my feet in the air doing a handstand and to walk bacwards.  However, I didn't have any stability or muscle control at all.  Basically, was walking backwards on hands so I wouldn't fall over.  Next time I will try to do this against a tree outdoors so I can build more coordination and control.

Workout plan week of April 8 to April 14th

Day 1 Heavy: Increase running time/distance including backwards running intervals: full body workout outdoors utilizing bodyweight exercises. Try handstand against tree.

Day 2 Moderate: Shorter running distance or lighter jog at same distance, backwards hill work and headstands.

Day 3 Light: Short/light run and bodyweight exercises.  Add a new exercise
