batterycp Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've been a long time reader but have never fully taken the time to join the community; what better time than now?! I'm still in a "rehab" mindset and am actively working on muscle balance (day 60 of "Foundation Training"), daily meditation starting today and a set of sprints every 7-10 days. So in a rough format, here is what I am going to be doing for the next 6 weeks:1. Foundation Training 3 times per week 2. Full out sprint once every 7-10 days when my energy is at its peak3. 10 Breath Meditation every morning Looking forward to sharing successes with all of you! 4 Battery, Human Ranger/Adventurer, Level 2Current Challenge: Muscle Balance, Breathing Squats, MeditationSTR 4|DEX 3|STA 4|CON 3|WIS4|CHA 2 Link to comment

batterycp Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sorry about the delay! We went out of town this past weekend. I'm a big fan of Foundation Training; below is the link to the website, which has some videos on it. It's an exercise program in the realm of Yoga that is designed specifically to activate your posterior chain of muscles. Since I have been doing it my back has never felt stronger. My posture is also improving, which is great! http://www.foundationtraining.com/ Here is Dr. Goodman's Ted talk about it as well: Battery, Human Ranger/Adventurer, Level 2Current Challenge: Muscle Balance, Breathing Squats, MeditationSTR 4|DEX 3|STA 4|CON 3|WIS4|CHA 2 Link to comment
batterycp Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just wanted to provide an update: I have found that working in breathing squats throughout the day allows me to reach one of my goals, keep energy levels high and prevents my legs from tiring as I work from a standing desk. It's been a good reminder to me never to underestimate the simple changes and the effects they can have on you! 1 Battery, Human Ranger/Adventurer, Level 2Current Challenge: Muscle Balance, Breathing Squats, MeditationSTR 4|DEX 3|STA 4|CON 3|WIS4|CHA 2 Link to comment
