Just starting the new thread. Can't believe it's July already!

I posted my last workouts in the June thread so I can start July fresh here.

Hi all. My workout yesterday was 50 minutes of Body Combat + 15 minutes of pilates.

Vannie - Thanks for getting us started. I totally forgot that it's July 1 already!

Waves to everyone. Have a good day.

Thanks for starting us off Vannie. Jbliff I forgot it was July too!

Resting yesterday and rested yesterday too. I wanted to cycle yesterday but we had thunderstorms.

Vannie I did not know you had suffered a hamstring tear. When was that? I guess that rules out sprinting. Ouch. What a great workout day you had Wednesday. I think a formal gait analysis would be much more rigorous than what I had on the treadmill, which was done by 2 college guys.

Jbliff is the Body Combat all kickboxing? Any regular boxing?

Waves to Cher and Gibbee

Karen, yep June 2009, in a few seconds of stupidity and stubbornness while playing "can you do this" with my cousin's kid who was 7 at the time and in gymnastics. He said can you do the splits. Apparently not anymore! I was able to do with right leg forward but when I tried the left I couldn't quite go all the way down. But if course, I always could before so I pushed a little and we all heard an unpleasant noise. I tore the proximal hamstring tendon (small tear), anterior hip labrum and ligamentum teres. It's possible the labral tear was already there, I suppose, bc x-rays showed I have FAI in both hips which I believe makes labral tears much more likely. So yeah. My dad told me if I ever tried to do the splits again he would kick my butt.

That's why I do so much glute and hamstring work, to keep those old injuries from getting too grumpy.

They said the gait analysis will take about an hour so yeah, I'm guessing much more in depth than two college guys!

Hi all. My workout yesterday was 50 minutes of total body strength training + 30 minutes of pilates.

Vannie - Ouch on the tendon tear. Sometimes being too competitive isn't good! An hour of gait analysis sounds very in depth.

Karjoy - I hope your race goes well today. Body Combat is not straight kickboxing. It has elements of Muay Thai and Capoeira in addition to Taekwando moves. There are also strength moves like pushups and planks in addition to abs.

Waves to everyone. Have a great Saturday.

Good luck today, Karen!
