If you got into your workouts gently yesterday, then today is a day to step up the ante.
You have to face reality that your first “proper” workout will hurt a little bit, and it will be a little uncomfortable, due to the high likelihood of your eating too much and drinking too much maybe. Throw in some lack of sleep and you have the perfect combination for inferior workouts!
The great thing about getting through a good workout today is that you are bound to feel better from it. It may be painful to get through at times, but after you have managed to get your blood flow going, the aches and pains will slowly go and you will leave the scene of your workout in much higher spirits than when you first started!
Another neglected part of Christmas for most people is the lack of water consumed.
Water is the most important part of feeling and looking food. Without it and its not going to happen for you full stop. Your internal workings and your vital organs wont function properly if you don’t hydrate yourself adequately every day. Water is vital to human life, so lets make every effort to get something that is so fundamental to your health 100% right now.
I was guilty of it myself over Christmas, drinking too much tea and coffee, and in a matter of days, realising your energy levels have gone so far south, you don’t have the inclination to exercise, and even if you have, your performance is unlikely to be anywhere near your normal levels.
I guarantee that if you get a good workout in today, and you sip water throughout the day and especially in your workout, you will feel 100% better and as close to your normal self as is humanly possible.
After all, the sooner you feel better, the sooner you are going to perform better and eat well too. A lot of people I know don’t feel they have the incentive to eat well unless they have trained.
It all starts with today’s workout, don’t follow the crowd and wait until the new year, hit it today and lets get the feeling good process moving right now!!!
Hi Keri, hope you enjoyed your Christmas, it went so quick. I have been to see the doctor today, yet more antibiotics to try and recover my voice, and he has referred me to ENT for investigtion, he asked me if I have ever been a smoker, I said no and then he asked me if I was a professional singer, as they sometimes get problems with their throat, I said no. Ken thinks he has died and gone to heaven, it is so quiet in our house and I cant answer him back. My mum was admitted into Glangwili yesterday, worrying time, praying that she will be ok. Hope to be back in the Gym soon, it is not the fact that I have no voice but that I am not sleeping because of my throat closes up and I struggle to get my breath, so I dont sleep much, and therefore I dont feel like training, too tired. A Happy and prosperous New Year to you and your family, will come back when I feel that I can.
great to hear from you jean and sorry to hear your mother is ill too, and hope she gets better soon.
Hope you get better soon too, and you are able to get a full recovery early in the new year. It must be agony and so frustrating.
Hope you have a much better 2012 and you get back to full health very soon.
