I had a dream that I needed to move a pile of rocks for my aunt. I woke up wondering if I were still capable of such a task. So, I invented a workout to make sure. I walked around the room carrying weights, then lowered in a well-formed squat to set them down. Then, I walked around again and squatted to pick them up. Repeat until I’ve carried enough rocks. I started with two 5-pound dumbbells and did it for fifteen minutes. I’d like to build up to both more time and more weight.
The aunt in my dream has been gone for many years. But, you never know when someone might need a pile of rocks moved. And, if it’s someone I love as much as my aunt, I’m going to want to be able to say, “Sure. I’ll take care of that.” I'm sore this morning from that workout, but it's the level of soreness I would expect if I'd moved a bunch of rocks.

Got the bike out and went out for about 40min just before dusk. I also found a program of core strength exercises that go for 30 days that i'm going to try and follow (from a running website). There are planks, Russian twists, and mountain climber exercises that gradually increase in duration over the time period. Got hubby to start with me too - he's enthusiastic now, but my guess is he'll be bailing soon.... gardnerjoy - love your rock-moving preparation exercises. you can never be too prepared for what someone might ask you to do, lol :) chunks - you're being very disciplined on the DVD workouts. Great effort! |
Love the rock moving workout!
