May 10, Week ending Recovery Plus.

May 10, 2019, Friday:  X2 - Mobility & Recovery + Push-Ups and Pull-Ups.

I actually had some time today, but I was feeling a bit run down, so I decided to stick with the schedule and do recovery.  In my younger days, with this much time on a Friday, I probably would have tried to do another resistance routine to finish out the week, but not anymore.  Stuck with the recovery.

I'm a bit tighter than I used to be so the stretching part was disappointing.  Less range of motion in my stretches.  I a lot of hot spots in my calves that wouldn't release, so I just moved on.  Not many hot spots in my hamstrings, though.  But overall, the foam rolling felt good.

I had some extra time and motivation, so I did three sets of 30 reps of Push-Ups on my Push-Up Stands.  The stands increased my range of motion so I wasn't able to get to 50 reps in one set.  But that is my goal for Push-Ups on the stands.  Then I knocked out 20 reps of Pull-Ups, then a set of 10 reps.  This is the first time for me in a LONG time to do 20 reps in a row with no breaks.  I was very happy.  I wanted to get to at least 15 reps in my second set, but my wife made me laugh so I couldn't get it.

In the end, I burned a nice 371 kcals.  Just an easy workout with some burn at the end.
