Today’s workout!

Today is another rest day. As you know, if you’ve been following this Workout log, my rest days are composed of two sessions of 20 minutes of cardio. I try to keep these sessions spread out with 4-5 hours between 1 session and the next.

Cardio is an important component of any exercise routine because it helps sustain the circulatory system and improves the body’s ability to process oxygen. When your body is efficient at oxygen intake and use workouts can grow in intensity and your circulatory system will not let you down.

Thanks for stopping by.

See you tomorrow!

Today’s workout

As mentioned yesterday, this workout has a rest day every two days. On rest days two rounds of 20 minute Cardio sessions are still required. I’ve knocked out one so far (20-minute walk). The next one is due at 7 pm my time. I like our elliptical in our basement’s family room because I can watch television while I sweat.

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday!

Tomorrow I’m back in the gym for a Back and Biceps workout.

See you then…

Overtraining, Recovery, Rest day

Today’s workout:

Day off. It’s been a few days since I took a break from the gym. Since I’m retired I don’t worry too much about over training, but do listen to my body.

Overtraining and the Importance of Rest Days

I cannot stress to you how important it is to really listen to your body when exercising. Your body will tell you to slow down, help you avoid injuries, and definitely tell you when it’s a good time to take a rest day. Follow your routine by all means, but don’t be afraid to take a rest day. Your body will thank you for it and you’ll see some definite gains when you get back to your workout in a day or so.

Happy Tuesday All!

I’ll see you tomorrow…

Exercise, Rest day, workout

Today is a scheduled off day. I take advantage of these in the 4th week of each phase, in most cases, because of the heavier weights I am lifting. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!

Happy Hump Day!!

See you then…
