Exercise
I am sore pretty much all over. Which shouldn't be a huge surprise as I finally managed something approximating the inclined pull-up, got my push-up bars, and accidentally did lunges two (now three) days running. But this morning I was excited to do my jump-roping in only 3 discrete sessions (with about a 40 second break between). Maybe by next week ... oh, wait. The number's probably going to ramp up ...
This is what pushing yourself is like. Trying to play catch-up :)
I do need to do more stretching - my legs feel tight and I had to do about half a mile of intervals this morning before my legs felt even close to nice and loose.
Yep, don't get too attached to feelings of doing the exercises "right". A correct strength building exercise should be just on the verge of too hard to complete. We can't always be in that zone but we try to stay near it all the time. Good work.
ReplyDeleteHeather, I would love to find tasteful avocados around here! Your menus look delicious!
