PHA Training

After yesterdays 25 mile walk my hips were aching as I climbed down stairs this morning.  I was hoping that the PT would go gently with me.....however, there was no chance of that!

Todays delight was Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training.  Alternating stabilisation, power and strength exercises between upper body and lower body, forcing the blood flow to keep switching from different parts of the body resulting in a more demanding cardio vascular workout.

I wasn't sure if one of the exercises was entirely seemly for a middle aged lady - crawling back and forth along the outside decking on my hands and feet like Spiderman.  Good job nobody had a video camera handy!
