Staying fit for more flexible body

On Wednesday during our football match, I sprayed my ankle. I have had several cases of clients that sprayed their ankles and had to remain at home to heal before resuming their fitness routine. The impact was much on them. But mine was a different case. I thought I wouldn't be able to walk for a while. But guess what? The impact wasn't as much as I thought. For one thing, I still managed to complete the football game with it. Then, I used it for the ministry on Thursday and Friday came, I had the pain but I used it to workout on Friday and then Saturday and I am even feeling better.

Well, it's all about flexibility. Working out and stretching ones body helps to give one that flexibility that can withstand tough times and injuries like the one I had on Wednesday. Imagine if I hadn't been into fitness before now, I would have been pinned to a place for weeks. Staying fit helps with flexible joints, body and bones. Try it if you doubt it. Some people are in the hospital because of injuries that could behave been avoided or reduced because of lack of exercise. I am a witness to a flexible body.

My Friday Fitness

I went again on Fri in search of a flexible body. It was our dance Friday and I turn it into something sweet. I introduced 10 different workout moves starting with step board toe tap, then kick, lunge with step board, running in place with step board, step up toe touch with hands, step forward and backwards with step board, side steps, and high knees with step up. I introduced them in batches of 3. And after we mastered them all, we did all in 20 repetitions in 5 sets.

What I admire most is the way everyone followed and it was in unison. Along with the music, we flowed until the end. It was really an amazing session for us. The pictures below shows what we did

My Saturday fitness program

I started by spreading our fitness cones on the floor for use. Each one has access to 2 cones for the programs I had prepared for the day. Then, we began by running on the lines formed with cones. 3 lines of about 45 ft long. We ran to warm up. Then we began an intensive program of cones side touch. To achieve this, place 2 cones side by side while you stand at the middle. Then swat to tap each cone at a time. We taped one side, we stand and tap the other one. We did that for 40 repetitions of 5 sets. It was really intense.

Closely followed was a series of other programs like boxing sideways, forward and upward. Each in 20 repetitions of 5 sets. Then we went back to squat again but with one cone in front of you. Just squat, tap the cone in front, stand up but push your waist forward to strengthen the spine, then tap again. We did this in 20 repetitions of 5 sets. It was also intense.

Next was arms programs like touching the shoulders with your fingers, then spreading it again and keep taping for 20 repetitions of same amount.

We did another squat, this time around without a cone. Just squat, step one leg forward, bring it back and step the other leg forward. Keep repeating until 15 repetitions in 5 sets. After this, no one wants to continue again due to the pains.

We simply opted for other programs that attack the Tommy and arm. The videos below show what we did. Just watch them yourself.

That was how I stayed fit for more flexibility.
