Wow, what a weekend. It's been an eye opener for sure. Yesterday started with complaining muscles, after Friday's Lift Heavy Things session. Thankfully I've got the weekend to recover from that one. It's quite surprising the number of different muscles that have made their presence felt this weekend, which makes me confident that the 5 Essential Movements workout is working out just about every bit of my body.
Yesterday was pretty much a rest day. A short 45-50 minute walk in the morning, followed by some fishing in the afternoon. Today, I wanted to experiment with something different. I've invested in a Frisbee recently (Only I haven't, seeing as what I always called a Frisbee as a kid is actually a trade mark. Apparently what I did in fact buy was a Flying Disc, which in no way, shape or form sounds as cool as a Frisbee...). Today's exercise came in the form of throwing a Flying Disc (god, that sounds lame...) between myself and The Cat's Mother.
As it turns out, this was pretty much the best thing we could have done, as we were both looking forward to it, despite the continuing aches and pains. Not only that, it was so much fun, that we didn't want to stop. We'd spent 40 minutes happily throwing the Flying Thing, and it seemed like hardly any time at all. The best thing is that we can't wait to do it again, as it's made exercising fun.
