Strength & Mobility (Upper, Lower, Core) 45:00 [1]
Finally there was a happy convergence between Time Available and Unfatigued Body that allowed me to try out K/O's new strength routine today. As I get more familiar with it (and thus less awkward), I think I'll continue to enjoy it.
The routine is set up to work with free weights, rubber bands, stability ball and balance board, and the idea is to exercise different upper and lower body muscle groups by moving through single, smooth motions. For example, you might start with a squat, then stand up (using glutes and hams) until you're balanced on your toes. In the meantime, you've got one end of a rubber band in your hand, using it either in a pushing or pulling motion.
We'll have to get K/O back in a couple of weeks to make sure we've got it right, but I was happy with the Non-Boredom Factor today. I am a little worried about knocking my teeth out from a crash during the Full Push-ups on Stability Ball While Being Harassed By Lab Retrievers exercise, but I guess that's one of the advantages of being married to a dentist.
