Fitness 2.1

 

    

            This week is was a wildly hard one. Nick set out to make my life miserable and beneficial. We set a goal of burning through 300 reps, which is 10 reps for each skill. This week my goal was  accomplished by getting in 300 reps in a half hour. This week we worked more on pull ups. We added a band with less tension so it was harder to do them while assisted. We figure out that  I can do 5 pull ups by myself and after that my body rejects me. So, this week was a success, but the week isn't over yet. 

            I face the challenges of being able to keep going and finishing everything. It is very important I do everything correct to avoid the injuries and the soreness. It becomes an issue when I do not eat correctly and I take days off, but of course their are no days off.

    Harley, I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you are really coming along well! I've read about how amazingly fitness improves your performance in the arena and I hope this benefits you too! How long do you plan to continue this routine? IS it hard to keep up when you're traveling or rodeoing?

Laser Shower 1.1

 Hello everyone! Genius hour has been off to a great start! I have been learning new protocols and studying different settings.  The Laser can also be used on humans. When you are lasering a horse or a human it doesn't hurt or cause you any source of pain. It will hurt your eyes if you look into the red laser, but not the blue laser. Usually you only apply the laser for a maximum of 5 minutes. When treating acne its only 2 weeks. Below I have attached a video of my horse (Strawberry) as her at her first stage of being injured. This video will show how she is off on her hind left leg. Yes she is very fat and is not a pony just a very small horse who has had 5 months without exercise.

This week I stepped up my  exercises. I started doing 3 rounds of 15 reps. So far my shoulder is alright,  but it still isn't ready to get back to CrossFit.   My goals this week are to not get hurt and keep working harder. As far as                  my long term goals  they are still up in the air. The picture above is an  exact picture of what I  had done. This is a stem  cell shot. It uses a really  long needle called a  spinal needle. This shot is very expensive, but it works really well.  Stem cells are fundamentally the building blocks of life and have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells within the body. Stem cells are actively involved in repairing, regenerating, and rebuilding damaged or absent tissue in the body that has been affected by disease, infection, or injury.

           This week we focused on bench press. When we first started out we but 45 on plus a 35 bar. Mondays set was really good. I built up from 125 up to 145 which is improvement, but I am looking for more. On Wednesday I had no idea what got into me, but I was pretty weak. I faced the challenge of not being able to even lift the bar above my head. That night I came to find out that I had 2 ribs out and it was straining my hip. Given my shoulder injury this came as no surprise because it happens often. Anyways there is always bumps in the road.           My goal this week was to of course burn through 300 reps of everything, but to also get to 150 pounds with my back squat. My goal was reached and on Friday we might add more. Along the way I am improving my form and it is helping me get stronger. It is helping rebuild  my shoulder.                Each week I a...
