Went cycling before arriving
at the Gym. Took the Nelson Mandela Road and rode the bike for 20 mins. Not a
long ride but got me in the groove to start exercising right away at the Gym. Got down to hip mobility through banded mobilization exercises. I still have a lot of mobility issues which apparently are the cause of my lower back pain. Also, I have this nagging groin pain which is most likely a Hip impingement. The rehab for this condition is banded hip mobilization. The body welcomes this movement as it gives a good stretch to the Hip joint area. However, I am not sure if this will work as I have been doing it time and again. Let’s be patient about the results. Then I performed the Mcgill
Big 3 which I do almost daily. These core stability movements have been the
real force behind my back-injury recovery so far. They infused confidence in
me to go back again to the gym and not lose hope. I think they are the No. 1
exercise for lower back injury prevention and also rehab. Squat University
professes that these exercises be made a daily feature of the exercise
routine. Later I did some inclined
Bench presses with Barbell and Dumbbell. I also did Chest press machine. It
was good to lift some weight while being confident that I would be able to
manage my pain even if it occurred. I ended the session with
calf raises on the seated calf machine. I think I will be doing Calf raises
daily whenever I am at the Fit 7 Gym. It was a surprise to spot GC Navneet trainer at the gym. He trains at Fit 7 and has gained decent muscle mass in the last 2.5 years since we last saw him. He is a good chap. His only problem is that he gives too much Gyaan in between your exercise. So, we have named him GC. Better not ask for the abbreviation. |

Zone 2-3 Training |
The range of Heartrate between 110-145 bpm which
is good for cardiovascular health. I note it down through my Garmin watch
analysis of the workouts. (180 minutes per week target) |

17 mins
for the week. Need to add only the cardio part this week rather than the
complete zone 2-3 training including the weight training. Let’s see where we
stand on this front. |

Rishi's grandmother passed away on 23.04.23. He sent me video of her being fed last few drops of water through spoon. Got emotional. I missed my Bibi instantly. She is old and frail. She will go away one day. we all will go away one day. It was a solace that Rishi's dadi had her family around which loved her. Sad for Rishi. Sure he would be heartbroken that he saw her for the last time when he moved. |
