Way to much time off!
Back at weight training after FIVE weeks off. I had been working pretty hard for the last 6 months so I decided I would take a couple weeks off the second week in January. I have done this before when I used to train at local gyms I would always take the first couple of weeks off in January. My reason for this, as you folks know that train at a public gym it gets pretty crazy those first few weeks of a new year.
Well two weeks became three and three became four and so on. I was starting to feel a little crummy to say the least. I had been taking my martial arts classes during this period so I wasn’t a complete couch potato. Weight training for me though is a necessity. The first day back I took it fairly easy only did about 3/4 of the sets I usually do and still got sore. I have gotten three days in this week and will do some light training today. It’s amazing the benefits of lifting weights. I know most people think we do this stuff to improve our bodies and that is true but that’s only a part of the reason. I think most if not all of us who have been at it a wile become addicted to the way it makes us feel mentally. If you going to be an addict I can’t think of anything better to be hooked on.
Happy new year to all, and now that most of the the folks who made resolutions have gone away and your gyms are back to normal train hard your body and mind will thank you for it.
