10-minute Fitness Program, week 1, Day 5
HI!
This has been the hardest day so far to find new exercises, not so much to find motivation, I was raring to go. So I made it very easy for myself, with regard to innovation.
BRACE YOURSELF!
If you thought this was going to be an easy day, oh no! That was what I thought I was going to do! (I should have known better.....)
Ok here goes what I did:
Warm-up_ SALSA! Clothes & equipment: none whatsoever! :)
Gloria Estefan Mi Tierra. If this isnt't the greatest salsa ever, I stop to exist. Anyway any good salsa or merengue will work, or for that matter any music that stirs YOU up.
For me:
Marc Anthony's Valio la pena
Crespo' Suave
JL Guerra&4:40's Bilirrubina
If this has not warmed you up I don't know what will!
Ok now for the real thing.....
Depending on where you live and what conditions you can work in.
So, they have cleared up the walkways close to my house and there is a 150 m stretch (approx) that goes uphill. So since I wanted to do something different I just did
Ok this took more than 10 minutes, I admit.
Cool down: remember the quad stretch and for good measure make sure to stretch the calf muscles; brace yourself against a wall or a post, put one leg forward and the other one as far back as it will go while still keeping your back foot flat. Then bend the knee of the front leg, gently, as far as it goes, while keeping the back foot flat. Change legs after 10-5 secs, 3 reps each side.

5 times a 100 meter (uphill) sprint. (As in, a real all-out sprint).
In between, a moderate walk to get my breath back. Then back to the same stretch and do it again. I didn't time myself, I will next week (maybe).Ok this took more than 10 minutes, I admit.
