Workout 1 1/2/10

At home in my gym.
20 mins on the Elliptical, warm up then 15 mins at 150-160 HR.
10 mins bag work, a punch/ squat combo I made up. It works. The legs are sore today, and when I got back on the Elliptical the HR was still almost 150
10 mins back on the elliptical at 155-165 HR this time
10 mins on the Vew-Do Balance board, "surfing" as my daughter says and doing balance squats. The balancing is great I think to improve stabilizer muscles and perhaps ward off injury.
10 mins back and ab work on the stability ball, also to work on muscle imbalances and strengthen core and stabilizer muscles. I feel like the stability work on the ball and board will pay off when I have to make dynamic moves on the trail to prevent a crash, or when I actually fall. And, I will fall, oh yeah, it happens.
So, an hour total, not bad for a lazy Saturday, when there is plenty of beer and bourbon in stock. I will do something similar today. More later.
