Day 27 - FREELETICS - APOLLON Exercise

Tuesday 18th March 2014

Today it was workout three for me.
As usual I started with a good slow release carb breakfast. I had:

• 50 g Porridge oats
• 200 g 1% milk
• handful of green seedless grapes

1. Stretching - This is similar every day and I cannot express enough how important this is to aid movement and diminish the probability of injury.

90/90 hamstring stretches - holding for seconds on each leg x 2

Ankle circles - 10 clockwise, 10 anti-clockwise

All four quad stretches, 10 seconds on each side

Arm curls - 10 small rotations, clockwise and reverse, 10 large rotations as left

Wrist curls - 10 small rotations, clockwise and reverse

Shoulder rolls - 10 backwards, 10 forwards

Dynamic chest stretch 3 x 15 second holds

Elbows stretch; 1 x 10 second hold

Abs - overhead stretch 1 x 10 second hold

Cat stretch - 3 x 10 seconds
Calf stretch hands against a wall - 10 seconds each foot

Seated floor hamstring stretch 2 x 10 second holds

Standing hip flexors - 2 x 10 each leg

Overhead stretch - 1 x 10 seconds

Shoulder stretch - 1 x 10 seconds each arm

Tricep Stretch - 1 x 10 seconds each arm

I did not do all my stretches as the following exercise incorporated some of them.

2. FREELETICS - APOLLON.


Now that I have completed it, I know it was tough . . .

So this is what FREELETICS have suggested I do.

I thought at the beginning'

"This would be easier".

Yes well, perhaps not, although I am finding the burpees less painful.

I managed to complete the entire three rounds, my goal was to do this in under one hour. This is slow in comparison to many other FREELETICS members, but I am only in a competition with myself, no one else (at least for now). The target was set, all I had to do was to get through it and smile on the other side.

This was my result.

Happy. Cannot wait to do more . . . I truly have the bug now.

I have to confess though that I have reservations regarding the pull-ups and later the press up head stands . . these might take a while before I am better a them or can do them at all.

See you tomorrow.
