>> ... Went to an interval training class yesterday and the instructor told me she hoped I would feel sore today. Well, her wish came true! I'm hoping to go to Body Pump today if I can get my car washed in time!
How's everyone else doing?! Keep on fighting the good fight! You are worth it!
@monyhoney: I am constantly puzzled as to why people equate soreness with a productive workout and how this is consistent with a training regimen that is progressive and sustainable long-term. Â Very happy that you're meeting your goals though.
@analogkid: Yep- 100% agree. When I lift I lift to muscle exhaustion. At the time- not past muscle exhaustion to the point where I am sore the next day. That's not to say I get achey from a new or different workout ( or in my case today- pulling up carpet and scraping the floor clean) but I wouldn't label it sore, cramps ect.
Work smarter NOT Harder was always the motto I said to my clients. You can still get results, get stronger and reach your goal- don't have to shred muscle to build muscle.
On another note- I have not even come close to getting all the miles of training in on the road bike!
this weather has forced me to train inside and do lots of cross training. Not a happy camper. I know the weather will break but dang this has bee a cruddy year to train. I feel sorry for all the riders in the MS 150 this year- most of the riders I know have not been able to train. Lots of sore butts and legs in Austin this year!
