What happens when you actually follow the doctor's orders?

Day 8

I decided to take a day off from the gym today to focus on my midterm exames and let my body recoupe and rest up a bit. Yesterday was my second day of gluteus medius workouts and I ended up adding 3 small exercises to it. "In the window" and "out the window" both have you on all fours and you move one leg as if you where climbing in through a window and then out through a window. "The fire hydrant" is a bit base, but you basically lift one leg to the sky as a dog would at a fire hydrant. These new three exercises incorporate more of the gluteus muscles and sure do leave you a little stiff the next day! The exciting part, is that after only two of these workouts, I have begun to notice a change in my gate. My adductors are no longer holding on for dear life, and I don't have as much of a heal whip. It is actually much easier to walk in a straight line. These are motivating results and I will make sure to keep you updated as I progress!
