Yesterday my daughter and I went out to Sweet Creek Falls Trail and had a nice walk/hike there. It was, as usual, one of the most amazing places to do a short hike. We were walking for about an hour and fifteen minutes, with an hour and fifteen minute drive each way. It takes the whole afternoon, not something I'd do everyday because of the drive.
The walks are nice, but they aren't sustainable for me after I'm back to a day job.
Today I did two minutes of tabata. I did running in place, squats, jumping jacks and wall push-ups. And yes, the wall push-ups were plenty challenging for me considering I had to do them vigorously and continuously for 20 seconds.
I decided to increase to 2 minutes because it's just the foot intensive stuff, like running and jumping jacks, that have the potential to hurt my calves, which is what frightened me away last time. I seem to be able to do two minutes, as long as only one minute of it is foot intensive. However, I am still feeling like I got a good workout. I need to remember not to overdo right at the beginning. Thinking about the pain I was in back in March helps a lot.
