Jumping rope - much easier to do a trip-free set if you AREN'T huffing and puffing! First set was great, next couple my count went... "one, two, three, TRIP, four, five, six, TRIP, etc etc." By the last set I was doing better and only tripped once.
Flexibility is DEFINITELY my issue and I know it's totally based in having a very weak core. Already the squats are getting to me. After 3 sets my left lower back is feeling tweaked. Twisting/stretching is helping, and I feel like the only thing that's really going to make it better is strengthening the area, right?
dude - i'm sitting here giggling with glee that you are IN IT to WIN IT, girl!! so great to see you jumping right in (pun intended). also, love the pics in your banner. can't tell - who's your inspiration chick?
ReplyDeleteyou will feel a BIG difference as you start to strengthen your core!!
Darra Torres - cause she's old like me and still kicks ass.... that photo totally doesn't look like her. THIS is the photo I had in mind. http://www.eons.com/images/members/2008/8/2/1/7/17376671218342571677_610w.jpeg?1217667371
ReplyDeletedarra torres is totally bitchin'!! and THAT is the image of her that is in my mind too - patrick couldn't make that one work?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... my comment didn't post. I said - stretch! And I also said your linked photo is that same one I sent Patrick! But he went with the Hilary Swank running shot, which I love...
ReplyDeleteErin - we are completely in sync right now, because Hilary S. was another person on my list. Also Perrey Reeves, who plays Ari's wife in Entourage:)
ReplyDeleteLove Mrs. Ari! Great choice!
