Core Tuesday

If anyone is up for it, we will do care at 4:45 pm pst. I like core day; gives us a chance to do what I call pre-hab (injury prevention) type of work.  Many of these smaller muscle groups such as the hip extensors, lower back, glutes, etc are the ones that keep us moving. I need to take a dose of my own medicine on this. I am presently in my sixth week of rehab and I believe it likely could have been avoided had I focused a bit more on some of this important work. It is satisfying, however, to see some of the exercises we focus on such as jumping squats and single leg flute bridges, incorporated into our training. Guess I am doing something right!

Please leave a comment if you see this btw. Trying to make sure I'm not talking to myself here.

Welcome

We've been at this, together, for a few months now and have created our own little community, which is kind of cool.  I thought it might be fun to create a Gym Harold blog platform, which will hopefully drive a bit more engagement than Instagram. For those of you who know me, you might know that I like to play around with various blogging platforms. I've used this one in the past, though it has been a few years.

I will use this for a variety of purposes; to post the workouts in advance; talk about why we do the workouts that we do; post articles that I think you might find of interest and more. I also thought/hope that this would be a platform for you guys to share your thoughts too. 

I'm completely open to any of your suggestions as well.

Also: see tonight’s workout, below. Two relatively long aerobic sets.  Not designed to be too difficult (maybe a 6 or 7 on 1-10 scale) , but rather to get the blood flowing  as start the week.
