Today, I did 4A2 of NRoLfW. During one of the step-ups, as I was decending, I landed on my non-working foot wrong, twisted my ankle and fell down, losing one of my 25# dumbbells. I was worried that I had done some damage, but after a couple minutes of rest, things improved to the point that I continued with the workout. I have weak ankles, so this isn't new. Falling after coming off of a ~18inch step holding 50# of weights was a bit different of a feeling, though! Rather scary, especially since I was all alone in the gym. There was a funny coincidence, though. VH1 was on the gym TV and a song by Kelly Clarkson was playing. As I was sitting there seeing if my ankle would get better, she's dancing on a bar and ends up falling off in much the same manner that I did!
I definitely got a good workout if you reference my heart rate graph from my Garmin:
Heart rate from today's workout. Resting ankle at about 25min mark.The only problem I have with a heart rate chart is that I don't get credit for activities that are prone. I'm working really hard during those 2 minute planks, sweating and puffing, but since I'm not standing up, my heart rate doesn't get very high. It does show me getting up to 130bpm, though. I guess that is pretty high for a prone position.
I didn't hear as many clicks from my knee today. Also, the ones I heard weren't as extreme as normal. Before the workout, my knee wasn't as sore as it has been. Improvement? I hope!
Last night I did a yoga session from YogaToday.com. I needed that. The kids were being terrors last night and I was so worn out from dealing with them that I could have gone to bed at 8:30pm. Hubby encouraged me to do the yoga, though. Thanks, hon!
