Even if it has been two weeks holiday this week

Yoga

Christmas schedule still, PowerYoga 2 this evening was the only Yoga class that suited my schedule. I had hoped that it would have been a suitable Yoga class Friday but no such luck.

Was a bit afraid it would be too soon for my knee but I decided to give it a try.

I got a Yoga mat  and a Yoga mat bag for Christmas so I brought the Yoga mat to the class, turned out we were several who had their own Yoga mat.

I did not have any issues with most poses but the Child pose I had to put my right knee in another angle

The tree pose tonite had to be below my knees, usually I can put one of my feet above the knee but it did not work tonite.

I was glad I went to this Yoga class, new instructor which I could go to again

Massage

60 minutes massage before work.

Since my right calf was stiff over a larger area and I ran a trail run this weekend I wanted the masseur to focus on the calves, back of my right knee (got pain after Yoga probably because I could not put any weight on my right knee) and if there was time over, thighs, hips and lower back.

My right calf still needs work, it is slowly getting better, my left calf was normal stiff.

Will be nice when my right calf will be normal stiff so more parts of my body can be massaged, like back, shoulders, hips, thighs and neck (will probably be needed this first part of this year when I will prepare for a new challenge)

Gym

Since I felt pain at the back of my right knee I decided I wouldn’t run on the treadmill or row before I started to lift weights.

Today it was biceps where I have increased the weight last week, triceps. hips, legs and core.

Was glad that I could do this hip exercise that I had not done in a while but started last week. Used this balance ball also for 90s, thougt it would be good to do this tonite instead of tomorrow since I will run a trail run this weekend. You get very tired in your calves doing this exercise. I foamrolled my calves and back of my knees.

Gym

Time for my second time this week at the gym.

Have not felt any issues at the back of my right knee at work but when I started my first hip exercise I felt it. Had already decided that I wouldn’t do any warmup so my right knee could rest a bit more.

Today it was back, shoulders, hips, legs and core.

After the gym yesterday and this morning I had issues with my back so if was good to work on my back. Did not feel any pain during ”Sitting rowing”, torsorotation, chinups.

Today it was hip tabata with the exercises that I can do, core, balance board and then I foamrolled my calves, back of my knees and hips.

Stretched at the end.

Looking forward to the trail run tomorrow when I plan to run pain free again. The same route as last weekend but at the end I will run and have the lake on the left instead of to the right.
