Recovery time

Monday, October 17. 2005

The body has a sick sense of humour.

After doing the right thing and getting some exercise into this body, I felt great yesterday. We warmed up and even warmed down with a light 5 minute walk home.

I even felt pretty fair yesterday arvo that I decided to cut our lawns (it's a big job normally involving 60 mins straight of pushing the mower... a good workout!).

I felt quite refreshed and not even a twinge of muscle soreness... though I did get a little 'red' around the face and neck. (Damn my lily white skin!).

Pauline was a little sore yesterday arvo, though I thought I had evaded it. Not so! I work up this morning and realised with the first movement that muscle soreness was going to be my day!

Ahh well... just my muscles complaining about the lack of use. Was fine after a nice hot shower, though as I'm sitting at work all day I've cramped up again. I'm moving around like an 80y.o, and it appears my left side (tennis serving side) is feeling the full force of the exercise.

Not to worry... I'll be taking today off... and do a bit more tomorrow. These muscles are going to have to get used to the new regime!

Hehe. That won't last if you keep up the exercise. Don't rest too much or it will take longer to recover. You need to keep exercising to get rid of the toxic build up. Keep up the good work though.
