I honestly felt terrible today.. I don't have any idea why.. Everything in my legs and hips just felt ridiculously tight, as if I had just run a half marathon the day before.. but I legit took yesterday as a solid rest day.. Very frustrating..
I decided to do some at-home mobility, totally made it up on the fly.
I recently downloaded this Tabata app for my iPhone which literally just beeps at 20:10 second intervals for 8 rounds and stops.. simplest thing ever.. I wanted to test it out so I did something I had seen on mobility WOD.. Tabata Leg Swings.. These got my hamstrings going, but it felt like the tip of the iceberg so I kept making shit up to do with the timer.. The next two were tabata goblet complex and hamstring stretch.. (I did 20 seconds of a deep goblet squat hold, then 10 seconds of squats.. repeat 8 times.. and then 20 seconds of holding a standing hamstring stretch "trying to touch my toes".. 10 seconds to breathe.. repeat)
Finished with some foam rolling.. felt much better after..
Good to listen to my body on an unexpected off day.
