But at least it is better than the alternative
I guess this post is geared more towards those over 40 but all are welcome, just if you are in your 20s (or younger) expect the I have leather jackets older than you comment.... sorry but it IS required :EG: :uhyeah:
It has been awhile since I have done an exercise routine like I am working on now (I actually have time again since I stopped taiji) and something surprised me. I have read as we age out bodies need more time to recover and I did not doubt it, I just didnt expect it to FORCE me to do it. :idunno:
About 15 years ago I did a much more strenuous routine and I did that 6 to 7 days a week and I felt pretty good. I have been trying to go 6 days a week with Saturdays or Sundays off, although I did not take either off last weekend since I took an evening off (I got the morning workout in) due to a debilitating headache that came on after I took a 30 minute walk at lunch time. But for 2 weeks prior to that I was doing ok, a little fatigued but that is to be expected when you start a new routine.
Now yesterday I could not even get myself out of bed to do any workout, I was late for work and I had a hard time staying awake for most of the day and no workout in the evening either, I did get a walk in however.
But today I am fine and ready to go and feel great actually :bangahead: I wish I was not a work so I could go train, but again this is nothing new I always wish I was not a work so I could go do something, anything, just not sit here most of the day.
Me thinkest my body is trying to tell me I need at least 2 days off a week :duh: and I think I am going to listen.
So has any one else found this to be true as you age and how has it effected your train?
