Total Body Transformation Training BlogA journey about training the entire body to acheive peak fitness and health. Whole body training isn't about body building, toning or running a marathon per se. It's about teaching the body to optimize and balance strength, speed, and strength-endurance. And it's about developing an attitude that is all to lacking in the West around hard work, effort, and the meaning of the journey. Monday, February 09, 2004Foot Bone's Connected to the Ankle Bone...Running, or even brisk walking, was not an option today. Still, a 6000m row was a good 30 minute cardio workout and didn't have any impact.This past weekend calluses on the right ball of my foot started to tear. Started. In an act of sheer stupidity I decided to complete the job without using clipper of any kind. Once the calluses were ripped off the blood came, followed by the pain. Nu-Skin may disinfect and cover the wound, but my foot still hurts as hell to walk on. If there was any doubt as to the fact that our body moves as a whole unit and not a bunch of piece parts, I now have proof to the contrary. With the ball of my right foot in pain I tended to walk (gingerly) on the side of my foot. This strained my right ankle, causing more weight to shift onto my left side -- the home of the knot in my hip from working out and running so imbalanced yesterday. So today was an easy day - just back and forth on the rower. |
