The first week ended with another great day. Two hours with David, with one hour in between with Andy, both focussing on firing the glutes and getting a strong push off through the back leg. My legs were able to do many things I did not expect at this stage, including a treadmill walk (in a harness) at 4kph, many deep forward and lateral lunges, single leg presses etc. Here are videos of me jogging at the start of the session and then doing a 20k sled pull towards the end (I went up and down the length of the gym 4 times doing this). I had several minutes of squats on the power plate, a vibrating platform, which is intended to help get the muscles firing at a higher frequency. Its the weirdest experience, but seems to work. My legs withstood the pounding, with great responses - but I expect them to cry out for a rest tomorrow!
So, you'll see that as well as success at PW, I've had a breakthrough with uploading video! Except that I can't seem to save the rotate change, so excuse the need to tilt your head for a couple of minutes. But here's the video from Monday - which I have successfully rotated!
I'm in the house now, which is great. Looking forward to a weekend of R&R, before getting going again on Monday
Try again as being a luddite I'm not sure if I managed to post a reply just now. I'd say looking very good but then you always were a bit of a show pony! I have to say that as this is the first time I've seen you on video I'm relieved and delighted by your progress - I didn't really know what to expect but there you are strolling along with a smile on your face and answering back as usual! Hope you get that much needed R&R this weekend and are fully charged for the week ahead.
Paul, wow I can see from the video such a dramatic difference to pre Xmas. Amazing. You look very natural and at ease. Where is the house? Near PW? I echo Tony's comment above, it has taken me a while to work out how to post my comments. Not sure where my previous ones went? Have a fab weekend. Plenty R&R. Enjoy Denise xx
