1-30-16 HY: Cycling + Splits + TCF.
My daughter and wife got both got a new bicycle this week. But since it was raining, they were unable to try them out. Today, my daughter wanted give them a test ride so I agreed to try the other one with her since my wife was a little tired. They are electric assist bikes so I was thinking it was going to be like riding a moped. In some ways it was, but in many other ways, it definitely wasn't. I live in a very hilly suburb so I really wanted to test how much the "assist" assisted. Although it does help quite a bit, the help is proportional to the pedaling effort exerted on the bike. So I had to do a good amount of pumping up those hill, and we went up some pretty long and steep hills. I wasn't intending to, but I got a good sweat on. We went out for over 30 minutes going all over the neighborhoods in our area. Then, after we came back we played catch with my nerf football for a good 15 minutes. It was nice to get out in nature and breathe fresh air.
In the evening after sunset, I decided to do my splits training and Flow. Mainly because I was starting to feel that weird pull in my left upper Hamstring/Lower Glute. Again, took some extra time and added some extra moves to stretch out that glute. Still don't know what the problem is. So, I'll just keep stretching and see if that does the trick.
No HRM, so just the sweat and pain to determine a good workout today. Light, but good... and satisfying!
