Coach Patrick Here’s what I’m trying to fit in on a weekly basis for “strength”:
• 8-10′ of slow dynamic stretching – a routine I’ve honed over the past 30+ years
• 10-15′ of gluteal work, one leg at a time – trimmed down from all the stuff I’ve gleaned from PT visits over the past 3 years. Really seems to keep my knees happier
• 20′ of dumbbell work: 2 sets of curls, tricep curls, wrist curls, & supine rows; push-ups & dips. I have abandoned squats for a while, might add some back, but those are only with 45#.
45-50′ total, 2 x a week, all at home for the past 16 months. Might be the longest I;ve been away from a gym since I was 17!
