Today’s 43 was a fun one. I did a modified version of a single-arm clean and press.
The single arm clean and press is a whole body exercise focusing on the lower body, the core and the shoulders. By doing this move one arm at a time, the core has to work extra hard to keep your body balanced and the combination of movements really gets your heart rate up.
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a weight (I used a 10 pound dumbbell) in the right hand.
- Squat down touching the weight the the floor and keeping the back straight, abs in and the knees behind the toes.
- Push back up, pulling the weight up into a single arm row.
- In a smooth movement, flip the elbow down and the weight up and press the weight overhead.
Because I’m still trying to take it a little easy on my lower body, I took out the squat (thus the modified version). I did 43 reps with my right arm and then immediately did 43 with my left arm. I think I might feel this in my shoulders tomorrow.
After my 43, I decided that a light jog would work out the last of the soreness in my legs. I’m happy to say that even though it is a couple days late, I finished my 43 miles!!! I did an easy 5.5 today and felt good doing it.
Looking forward to the next 43!
