Worked out Monday and have had the most excruciating muscle pain I’ve ever experienced without an injury for the past two days. But I’m walking each day still, albeit slowly. At at lest going up and down the stairs is less painful today. Walking is slow, but less painful.
Still very sore from Monday’s workout. Not just quads, but hamstring attachments to glutes and my inner thigh adductors are screaming mad.
I still went for my walk though. I was slower than most of my walks last week and felt colder than usual even though I wore the same thing I’ve been wearing fleece-lined legging with a snow skirt, long sleeve thermal base with a good jacket, scarf, mittens and hat. I think it was just because I’m sore and tired.
I’m sore from yesterday’s workout and didn’t want to go for my walk outside at 5F, but I did it.
50 squats (10 squats a min)
15 min on treadmill
10 min on bike
50 crunches
50 kneeling hip press “thingies” (kneel, sit back as far as you can, the press you hips forward as you ‘sit up” on your knees. Felt not so great on my knees, but great on my quads and hip flexors)
Day 7. I can now confirm that the fleece lined leggings are the best for doing walks in these temperatures.
The past 6 days I’ve worn fleece lined leggings with my winter skirt that I made and some days I’ve come back a little bit chilly, but today I went out with just regular hiking pants that I had worn to do an errand with my winter skirt over it and holy cow my butt is cold right now. Fleece lined leggings are the way to go.
