Bad week

 I didnt do pilates on monday morning as I was with a stomach bug and tuesday night I straigned my calf playing basketball!!!! I also didnt do pilates on wednesday due to the calf and work issues.

I noticed a real difference without the pilates and my sore back is coming back!

Will start again tomorrow morning and this time I am not taking any days off.

I am also going to try motocross at the weekend and if I like it I am going to start training hard for a race in 2 months. I am hoping that the added assentive of the race will help with my motivation.

7 sessions of pilates done

This week i upped my pilares to 3 times a week (mon,wed,fri). I havê been amazed at how good i AM feeling and can not believe that i havê Only done 7 sessions. My knees and ankles are pain free as is my back. I noticed on tuesday when i was playing basketball that i havê stopped thinking about running and i AM now sprinting the court without getting out of breath!!

I also noticed that i havê started to hang in the air when i jump instead of going up and streight down which means that i must be jumping higher now. This also means that my Jump shot is better as it is Less rushed and also more balanced due my improved core strength.

I also noticed that i more balanced in the air when Someone makes contact which again must be due to a stronger core.

At the weekend I AM going to measure my Weight and my vertical jump só that i can keep a record of the improvements due to my training.

Next week i AM also going to start jump training on thursdays and saturdays as my legs and knees are feeling much better.
