Unfortunately, injury and exercise are not mutually exclusive, something Jen learnt about on Friday. She arrived this Saturday a little sore and swollen in her left arm from post Fridays workout. Courageous enough to still exercise, Jen did a solely lowerbody workout (yes- we can work around injuries instead of just spending time at home doing nothing) comprising of 100ft of walking lunges, 50 squats and 25 sit ups, a workout others had enjoyed a day or two ago. And what do you know - she beat everybody elses time by over 4 minutes. Now if this is not the sort of spirit and drive legends are made of...!!! Jen, you are a fantastic athlete, keep up the great work. On another good note - her arm was back to normal by Monday - nothing to worry about, just a small glitch in the bigger picture!
Gulnaz was also in on Saturday, she started off the Wall Ball comp of 150 repititions. Her time: 9:46. She also hit the deadlift rack, looking for her one rep max (1RM) and we got close, with 30kg. As Gulnaz is a beginner, we didnt push her to hard. It takes time to develop the body to be able to lift extremely heavy weights.
