Hello,
I am doing the following workouts in supplement to my running but I find I am struggling to do the requested reps. I also have an issue to one of my shoulders at the moment due to sleeping badly on it. For information I am doing upperbody 1x per week and lower body 2x per week. I rotate the lower body workouts but always do the same upperbody workoug. I also do tendon workouts after every run and daily ankle strenghtening exercises due to a sprained ankle back in April.
So I have been modifying them as follows, and I wanted to check if this works or whether I should find a new workout:
Workout 1 - Upper Body:
I can't do the ten push-ups: so I do Incline Push-Ups until failure then wall-push-ups. I have not tracker so far my improvements but I will start doing so.
Until my shoulder is better, I won't do rotations but static side-planks, arm raised, starting with ten second sets.
Climber taps: I can't do 20, so I started woth 10 and try to add 2 every week
Workout 2 - Lower Body:
No need to adapt - just need to improve mobility on side to side lunges. It is almost too easy in fact. On the other hand I don't really understand scorpion twists.
Workout 3 - Lower Body:
No need to adapt - but more challenging. Doing 4 sets at the moment.
Workout 4 - Lower Body:
I don't manage to do 20 one-legged squats so I am doing 10 at the moment. Will add 2 per week.
Same with the alternating arm/leg raises, trying to build them up. Will do 2 per week.
Doing 3 sets at the moment.
Any opinions, comments, suggestions?
