Elements: Week 2 Day 3

Day 2 of course was an active recovery day.

Push focus: Monkey

I did the 3 5-min. sessions (one per animal) without a break between sessions, since breaks are allowed within each session anyway.  Decent conditioning workout for me, as I hardly do any endurance training these days - biking to work time has been all but eliminated by a combination of injuries (the bruised calf a couple of months ago), needing time to clean the house for visitors, practicing Taijiquan stuff, etc.

I got through the Push Monkey portion of the workout - easy enough to do a 1-min. round when the movement is done as slowly as possible.  Really trying to work on keeping the lower body airborne as long as possible.

Finished up with just a couple of reps of the Quadruped Twist to Roll to Plow from GMB's BJJ Mobility Routine. This is just a move I want to practice every now and then, because a lack of mobility is causing trouble in the "roll to plow" movement.  Then finished with the prescribed cooldowns.
