Day 1 Of Training Complete
Well as many of you know I'm working out and trying to get in shape for the NFL pro day stuff. This is where NFL scouts come to your school and take all your measurements (the important ones) like 40, vert, pro agility, broad jump and a couple other out of the norm agility drills. But anyway to get to a point where I could possibly impress one of these scouts it's going to take a big push as far as preparation is concerned. Well today was day 1 of that preparation and it went well. My trainer who was one of my strength coaches while I've been here is starting this week slow working on flexibility, mobility and just getting back in the groove of working out again. This is because we haven't practiced since last Sunday the 3rd and even then it was light practices. We haven't throttled all the way up in awhile. But even still I can tell this training will push me to the limits because the so-called "easing in" was tough. The flexibility stuff stretched some muscles I never knew I had and it was a painful experience, I guess what's considered the "good burn". I've done yoga before but it still doesn't target these smaller muscles that are in sometimes inconspicuous areas. Then the mobility stuff though not overall exhausting had me breathing a little hard and had me doing movements that you wouldn't normally do in any situation. We did a skip, forward backward and lateral then forward and backward with opening our hip (this looked like a new level of homo) But I can already feel the difference in movement. He's also trying to break the habit of my slue-foot. Which sounds good but to redo things I've been doing for 20 yrs lol that's asking alot. My toes been pointing outward for awhile. But anyway gotta grind it out gonna do some light stuff tomorrow and Day 2 is Weds.
