Ain't no cool hips
"You have no movement in your hips" declared my physical therapist this week. She might as well have called me an ugly, non sexy duckling. I'm a woman, aren't my hips supposed to girate in a move meant to hypnotize men and enemies?
So I won't apply to bellydancer/ pole dancing jobs anytime soon since my hips don't move. Worse, they're likely the cause of all my groin/ ITB injuries.
I'll add that to the list of physical handicaps I have not improved on over the 13 months of weekly yoga practice. First item on the list is balance (this i attribut to the abundance of wine flowing through my body at any given time, being french you know). Poor balance already caused me to crash into my biking partner and a wall later on, destroying all my hopes of appearing enchanting and graceful in front of the poised gentleman.
But, I hear the sport of triathlon is all about mustering through these little handicaps and injuries, so I will keep my eyes on the prize (the finish line) and workout through the next 3 months separating me from the truth on race day (am I a winner or a loser), not worrying about appearing graceful or womanly since these hopes are already shot.
A recap of a "slow" workout week due to my cold:
Also, anyone has a more detailed training plan than this?

A recap of a "slow" workout week due to my cold:

- 45 minutes spinning + 30 minutes strength training (tuesday)
- 90 minutes power vinyasa (wednesday)
- 45 minutes spinning + 20 minutes stretching (saturday)
- 90 minutes power vinyasa + 30 minutes run + 15 minutes stretching (sunday)
Also, anyone has a more detailed training plan than this?

Oops looks like you are gonna have to toughen up the abductors with some tight Cleans, Front Squats, and Rumanian Deadlifts.
