Non-Gym Workouts
I’m not expecting to hit the gym much the rest of this year. Wedding has me busy as well as with the new job jumping right back into full time massage after not having practiced for almost 14 months, it’s just not worth it to risk being run down and unable to give a good session. Massage isn’t all muscling at all, really it’s just about proper mechanics and leverage. It still can really be draining though, especially if the client really draws your energy from you. If I’m not well grounded and maintaining focus, it can really leave me with no energy at the end of the day, particularly if I’m doing multiple 90 minute sessions. I’m not about to take on 2 hour ones anytime soon. The last few nights I’ve fallen asleep a couple hours earlier than usual, yet slept poorly. I’m hoping tonight and tomorrow being off will allow me to catch up a bit and hit it full swing. I need to be ready for after Christmas when people start coming in with all their gift cards and I could be booked solid for 7 hours (at least I can request a break for some food). The nice thing about my work is that they’re really conscious of each therapist’s individual knowledge of their body and how long they can go before they need a break. It’ll be good to get back into the habit of knocking out 5 hours in a row again and having them ideally done early in the day. We’ll see what happens… Bottom line is that I’ll be ramped and craving the weights again come New Years!
