Workout:

This workout is designed to be incorporated into a bike ride or a run. The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale allows for self-evaluation during your workout. Keep in mind that this is a tool that allows you to use your own personal activity level as your benchmark.

RPE Scale

1 = very light activity

2-3 = light activity

4-5 = moderate activity

6-7 = vigorous activity

8-9 = very difficult activity

10 = your maximum effort

Workout:

This is a workout designed for a bike (indoor or outdoor) or challenge yourself to incorporate this into a run. The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale can still be applied. The RPE Scale allows you to self-evaluate how hard your body is working. Keep in mind that this is a tool that allows you to use your own personal activity level as your benchmark.

RPE Scale

1 = very light activity

2-3 = light activity

4-5 = moderate activity

Workout:

The intention of this workout is to aid tissue recovery through fluid dynamics. This workout combines dynamic stretches and low-intensity movement (biking/walking). Spend 5-10minutes on each set; customize your recovery and spend more time on the stretches you feel that you need most.

Set 1: Dynamic Stretching

  • Dynamic Side Lunges - focus your gaze and feel your weight shift side to side, initiating motion from the hips.

  • Arm Circles - vary the size of circles and focus on large, full breaths.

  • Trunk Rotation - maintain soft knees and try to make a perfect circle with your hips, like you’re doing the hoola-hoop really slowly.

Set 2: Bike/Walk

  • At a low intensity (RPE 2-3/10), take 5-10 min to bike or walk. Use a pace that you would be comfortable keeping for over an hour; it should feel easy to breath and carry a conversation.

Set 3: Dynamic Stretching

  • Deep Forward Lunge with Rotation - take a few deep breaths before alternating

  • Child’s Pose Walk - use a slow pace and focus on a slow, rhythmical breath rate

  • Inchworm - feel your core engage in the plank portion, adding a forced exhale to enhance that contraction, then take a deep recovery breath each time you stand up.
