Day 24 Pistol Squats...remember them?

First time I've done these in a couple of months,  and clearly I'm at the same stage as I was the first time I did them before.  Push ups of a similar standard,  4 x 10...  you're 'avin a laugh.  How far and how quickly I've fallen.  Heel is still fucked,  I have put my orthotic insoles I used to wear back in my footwear to see if it helps.  I'll give it a week before a trip to the quacks.  Truly is a pain in the arse as this no cardio is killing my weight.  I have been on the  stationary bike at the gym quite a lot,  but honestly I think it's a total waste of time,  I'm trying to keep my heart rate below 110-115 level,  but to do that it's minimum resistance and I could keep going for several days.  So the 30-40 mins I'm doing is achieving absolutely nothing.  Oh how I miss my skipping.  Diet is proving a daily challenge.

  1. How would a stair master or an eliptical work with the foot? Stair master is on your toes right?

    I laughed at the pistol squats too this week when I got them back.

  2. Maybe the X-Trainer better than the stair master. I think the foot on its toes is generally straining the underside of the foot. I strained the heel from skipping on my toes, bizarre I know. X-trainer the foot stays pretty flat the whole time I think.
