Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 284

Day 283 I was happy that I was able to complete yesterday's bench press session, but my shoulders were a lot more sore today than I had hoped. I decided to take a break from the weights and do a little more cardio today. I was originally planning on doing a long interval session on the bike and getting a really good sweat going but I just couldn't get into it. I hopped off the bike after 15 minutes and went to my trusted old friend the skipping rope.

Today's Workout:

Stationary Bike: 15 minutes (Level 12 - 15 / 90 - 95 rpm)

Skipping: 100 Double Unders x 4 sets (60 seconds rest)

The skipping went a lot better than I thought. I've been avoiding anything with impact lately because my heel has bothering me, but thankfully it didn't bother me today. It still hurts a bit when I walk but it is getting better. I have to be a little more diligent about icing and it should be fine in no time.

Tomorrow, I'm getting another active release session done on my shoulders in the morning. They're feeling better than they were over the last week but still not quite as well I'd like them to. I think one more session of ART should clear up the last little bit of bound up muscle and fascia.
