Stretching
This is a deload week. The plan is to do whatever I can just to feel better. I certainly felt like a bag of smashed sphincters after the past weekend's pr festival.
I did a double session of treadmill on Tuesday because I went to the movies and planned on eating 1,000 calories of snacks. I hit a new walking around low of 246 so I can't just blow it. This crap ain't easy. Oh yeah, hence the circuit for assistance. That was a combination of burning calories and just moving my body around on different planes.
One thing of importance to note is that I have been stretching here and there when I feel like it. I feel stretching my hamstrings has really helped with my back issue. After I do that I'll roll out my back on a really soft softball. I can feel and hear some light crunching noises happening. If feels like the tightness in my soft tissue gives when this happens and I can stretch more. It's not like the cracking you get from a joint.
I seriously have no idea form one day to the next what I am doing to try to get my body in the best working order I can. A lot of it is instinct. A lot of that comes from trial and error. I am feeling better daily so I'm just going to keep rolling with it.
