Pull-throughs 4 sets ?x10
today...
Intervals 25 minutes x 2min@4mph/2min@7mph... 5 minutes cooldown
Now off to foam roll and try not to cry.
I've been plagued by muscle cramps for the past couple days... not sure what that is all about, but I guess I need to evaluate my diet. I tried stretching out really well, I'm hydrated, and see no reason why my electrolytes would be out of whack... so I'm a bit stumped.
I plan on lifting this pm, so it could be interesting to see how that goes.
Last nights workout did not happen... no matter what I tried I just ended up with painful cramping. Today isn't much better - I coached a gymnastics class this afternoon and that sucked, but this evening I pushed through some mobility work and I'm going to go try some light foam rolling and see if that helps.
eat a banana or take some potassium
I've covered all that... thanks though.
I'm sure you've checked hydration levels, yes? How about calcium / magnesium? Do you take a cal/mag supplement? I hope it gets better!
Yeah, I take mineral and vitamin supp's, and I'm hydrated... I noticed this morning that my legs are absolutely covered in bruises
Clearly something is amiss in my diet/nutrition plan.
I managed a workout last night... worked up to back squats 125x5x5. Was relatively pleased with that since my bw weight has dropped down to 120'ish over the past 6 weeks (from around 130) and my strength is still slowly coming back up.
lunges 75x10x4
Swiss ball hamstring curls... 10x4
mobility work

Weird about the bruising. There are times where I bruise more easily than at others and I've never been able to figure it out. Looking forward to seeing how things progress.
how much of the fish oils do you take
or its nothing to do with your nutrition plan... and to do with the freaky body of a female

My Ca/Mg supp is in a base of 800mg fish oil, and I also take 2400mg of a 3/6/9 supp that is 800mg each of fish oil, flax oil, and borage oil.
