Since the whole coronavirus (COVID-19) issue has really effected my work schedule, I haven’t really spent much time outside. So for this workout, I made it a point to get outside into the sunlight, since the weather warmed up, and get some real fresh air.
With my knees in the condition that they’re in, running is out of the question for the time being, so I went for a 2 miles walk with a weight vest on. I tried to keep a fairly brisk pace, but even still I only made it in a little over 30 minutes. Not an amazing pace, but not terrible really. Unweighted, I can usually walk at 15 minutes per mile pace, so this is just a little slower than that. Just something to work at over time, as I progress over the next few months.
After the walk, I decided to do some shadow boxing (unweighted of course), just to kick the cobwebs off on my boxing…I didn’t get rid of all of the cobwebs, because everything was rusty. Just hit 3 2-minutes rounds, with 30 seconds rest in between.
Now, I know I said running is out of the question, but frankly, I lied a little bit. I really shouldn’t have done any running, but I had a sudden urge, so I did a few short sprints. They were probably only 10 yards or so, and I paid for it the next day with increased knee, hip and back pain, but no regrets over here. It felt good just to get my lower body moving dynamically and explosively!
