Exercise man: the 7th daily workout

in #daily7 years ago (edited)

Today we'll need another day to do some recovery work, therefore we'll stick to some cardio and ab work today.

The daily workout

We begin with 15 - 30 minutes of running on the treadmill.
Then we follow the running with 3 sets of 10 - 20 hanging knee raises/leg raises.
Lastly, we'll do 3 sets of 10 - 20 laying leg raises.
Take 1 minute of rest between each set of ab exercises.

The necessary stretching

In addition I performed a 10 minute leg stretching session at the end of this workout. I suggest you do the same. My hamstrings are always tight so that regular stretching is really important for me to remain mobile and flexible.

I started off by with the standing hamstring and calf stretch.
2 * 30 seconds per leg (2 minutes total)
Which I followed with the hurdler stretch.
2 * 30 seconds per leg. (2 minutes total)
Then I did both legs at the same time for 1 minute in total.
Lastly, I did the reclined hamstring stretch for 2 times 30 seconds per leg with the help of a deuserband.

The gym where I train provides its own deuserband (= an elastic for stretching or assisted training), however I also have my own. If you consider buying some check out this set of 4 deuserbands. They are fairly cheap, come with a life-time warranty and are excellent for stretching.

Summary

This workout should take you 25-40 minutes.
The stretching should take you 10 - 15 minutes.

That's the short and fantastic work out of today :)

Hope you are feeling great,
your exercise man.
