Primal fitness humbled by the basics.
Decided to start doing some primal fitness this evening . I could squeeze 4 of the five movements. Thinking I would be at the level 4 already I thought as a warm up I would just do a set of the lowest foundation exersises, so with arrogance I got in to the starting position and to my disbelief o struggled to finish the full set. The aim is to master each movement before moving on. I am still on the basic set, my pressups felt flimsy. My squatting was awkward and my back and legs creaked. In the half plank position I trembled all over and felt loose after 60 seconds.
Don't be fooled by all these fancy movements, get the basics down first, tomorow is going to be another play day as bodyweight goes, more focus on doing each rep well with good motivation, taking time to build the power in to each movement. Although number of reps is important , as I am at a foundation level, I thinly that its more important to learn each position well. Grease the groove, do allot of sets of low reps.
I forgot how good the plank tenses the core.
Doing wall squats and wall pressups takes a little strain out the action , but also gives enough time and practice to become familiar with Tue postion and ballance of this exersise.
My lesson, get The basics down and get them solid.
Primal day tomorrow, plan. Eat my bacon salad at lunch , bake up and debone my chicken legs,
Make the stock with the bones, and with this cabbage and chicken broth. With a few mushrooms in it too.
Go and get some air walk round the park , do a little jogging and running (play) then another hour getting a grip on my bodyweight exercises.
Being primal having cold showers , but I do this any way!
To think about while I'm at work, I need to start setting a budget for food, I guess that the last 2 weeks have been getting expensive eating in a primal way. Need to find the value and stick to it, things like olive oil are running out quicker., also the cost of all the meat and fresh fruit and veg.
