Reconditioning

Hey guys, this is only going to be a quick update, havn't posted in a couple weeks, so just kinda letting ya know where I'm at.

Found out that my ankle sprain was a partial tear in my ligament, and will need another month or so of rest and reconditioning until it is back to 100%....but there's definitely no rush there at all. Have to say, it is a bit frustrating not being able to work on any type of jumping or vaulting =/ Guess I'm lucky that we are getting our loads of snow now heh.

My knees have been doing very very well, a little bit of slight pain or some discomfort here and there, but never anything debilitating anymore. I'm now in the proccess of reconditiong them, and will slowly progress into more impact-type training over the next 1-2 months.

As of right now, my reconditioning scedule is pretty much as follows:

Monday: Stationary cycle after school 25-30 minutes, varying speed/intensity-Leg Press 2 footed, Leg Press single footed-Leg Extensions-Hamstring curls-20 minute stretch/cool down

Wednesday: Stat. Cycle 20-25 minutes, varying speed/intensity-Bodyweight Squats and Squat Holds-Side Lunge Holds-Pistols both sides-20 minute stretch/cool down

Friday: Stat. Cycle 25-30 mins, varying speed/intensity-Walking Squats-Forwards/Backwards Lunges-Leg Extensions-Hamstring Curls Single Leg-20 minute stretch/cool down

On top of this, of course, I do plenty of core and upper body conditioning, but I just felt I needed to lay this out for myself and also in case anyone else wanted to check it out. Also, exercises may vary according to how my legs are feeling that day...but that's the basic layout! Saturday and Sunday I usually rest my legs and experiment with tons of core and upper body conditioning, and as of right now I can't really take any days for technical training becuase of my ankle =/

This workout regime has really helped strengthen my legs a lot, and helped to reduce the pain in my knees by a ton. Can't wait to be back at 100% xD
