Welcome everyone...by now you have eaten your share of turkey. Hope you had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Worst day to train/workout, day after Thanksgiving. Have been receiving questions and requests re "body weights." I workout with one, three and five lb. weights. NEVER place them around your ankles. Place the weight just above your knees. Never around ankles. That will throw your stride off. Too much pressure on your legs. Enter weight training slowly...slowly. Also consider using wrist weights. Start with one lb. each wrist and run 400m at half speed three days a week. Pump those arms. The arms and upper body power/pull you. When attending a track meet, you will hear athletes yelling "pull." You will realize positive results within 10 days. Three days a week with the weights, 30 min. One more...take a 5/10 weight and with both hands lift weight above your head and sprint half speed for 10m and then backwards. Three sets with 30 sec rest between each set. Stay off the treadmill. Hard on the knees. All you are doing is just raising one foot and the other. On any other flat surface, you have to push off. Breath deep slow breaths for one min.
before and after workouts. Get rid of that stale oxygen.
