Day 3: Friday October 7th 2011

Warm Up: 20 minutes

Recumbent Resistance Intervals

-       5 minutes at ‘5’ to ‘7’ resistance 75 RPM to 80 RPM

-       8 times: 30 seconds at ‘10’ to ‘12’ resistance 90+ RPM, followed by 1 minute at ‘5’ to ‘7’ resistance 75 RPM to 80 RPM

-       3 minutes at a leisurely pace

Light Stretch: less than 5 minutes

            No deep stretching.  Just a few reaching exercises, arm swings and circles, trunk rotations, etc.  The idea is to move and get warm, especially muscle groups you missed in your warm-up.

-       Rotating Single Arm Dumbbell Cleans: 10 reps at 15 lbs. L & R, 8 reps at 20 lbs. L & R

Stretch: 5 - 10 minutes

Comprehensive light stretching, then focus on deep hip external rotators, glutes and IT band (tensor fasciae femoris) with butterfly stretches, feet farther in front butterfly stretches, lying glute stretches, lying piriformis stretches, and lying hip stretches.

Cool Down: 20 minutes

Walk, jog, or bike at a leisurely pace.  Treadmill, elliptical, recumbent, and the great outdoors are all good options.
