Great Day

Congrats on doing well on your exam, told you that you would! Regardless, nice job.

So you aren't the only one who had a good day, I did too! Lee Ann, one of my favorite clients was asking me how personal training works as a business and she asked about master trainers vs. red shirts vs. personal trainers. So then after I explained how it works, she asked about me, and I told her I was going for my progression again this month. She immediately asked if she could buy more sessions (and not train them yet) and if that would help! I told her no, but thanks for the offer. Some time passes and we finish out workout. We started talking about cycling. I learned that she used to do Centuries (100 miles)! She is such a beast! She then asked if I cycled, because she knew I spin and like that kind of stuff I guess, and I told her not yet because I am still saving for a bike. You know what she did? She, at first offered to GIVE me her hybrid bike. I obviously said "No but thank you!" and she said, "Fine, if you don't take it, at least borrow it from me to help me free up my basement". OMG, what a nice woman! Not only that, she told me she would talk to a friend, who is very into and prominent in the Washington Metro DC cycling world, who can help me out with discounts ect.

MEGA WIN!

All good things must come to an end though, I did not work out today haha.

Other than that, I really did not do anything cool or anything worth mentioning today :( I just trained straight from 5-9:30p. I can haz tired.

I will end this post with this today, hopefully tomorrow brings something more fun to talk about! Fingers crossed.

Muscle of the Day
Piriformis (one of your favorites to stretch!)

Origin: Sacrum
Insertion: Greater Trochanter of Femur
Functions: Externally rotates the leg

Other Information: When the thigh is in flexion, the Piriformis also abducts the thigh. HOWEVER, in certain instances, the Piriformis also does the opposite functions, such as Adduction and Internally rotation. More on that later. I remember learning that it does, but I cannot quite explain it. Remind me later if you want to know. Just the understand that it can do both externally rotate the femur or internally rotate and abduct.

Oh and one more thing, I was typing this as you texted me so I will just leave this here: Do a ton of stabilizing stuff. I know its going to be boring, but the wall sits and the pulsing lunges will help stabilize the hip. Also, stretch! I'm VERY curious to see what you will do tomorrow for your legs. I am going to try and hit legs too actually. That was supposed to be today, but I did not get around to it. You're smart, you can figure it out!

(waiting to be impressed.....)

Have fun talking to Dad tomorrow!
