I downloaded the Nike Training App and used it for the first time today. I did a 30-minute toning workout and I’m exhausted! The picture doesn’t do it justice, but I was DRENCHED in sweat.
In all seriousness, it was a great workout! Did I mention it’s all free?! I highly recommend this app to the fit-enthusiast who doesn’t have time for the gym. I could definitely see myself using this on days when I’m not running.
Have fun!
You know what sucks? Maymester. Everyone else is like, “YEAH, SUMMER 2013!!!” And I’m in my bedroom…studying…all day…all night. But I’m still working out my VMO muscles, because I will run again, dang it!!!
Siigh, all of this hard work will yield something, right?
I was going to post pictures of my VMOs, but you can’t tell anything in the pictures, so instead I’m showing you what I’m doing to strengthen them!
Here is one and here’s this one! I also use 1.5 lb ankle weights while doing this. Goodness, I can’t wait to run again!
Now to study for my last final of this semester.
Is it December yet?
OH! And this happened a little over a week ago. The man of my dreams put a ring on it. Just wanted to share with all of you! <3
I went to the doctor on Friday, and there is nothing out of the ordinary! Praise God! My condition is very normal for female runners, but that chance was increased due to my past in dance.
Basically, my inner leg muscles are weak while the outer ones are super strong. Therefore, my patella favors that side while the inner ligaments are straining to keep it in place. Am I making since?
Anyways, the doctor told me to do VMO exercises which will focus on those muscles.
The downside? I had to get a cortisone shot and it really, really, really hurt. But here’s to hopefully running soon! <3
My knee pain goes in and out. Thankfully, I will be going to the doctor to get it checked out. Brandon will be going with me for moral support and he has a small background in physical therapy so he can better explain my pain. Not to mention, he knows the doctor.
I really hope my knee gets better. Been missing running, especially since the weather has been beautiful and I’m in need of a stress reliever!
Take care of yourself
