Workout today if you missed yesterday or if you just feel like putting in another day. Listen to your body, it will tell you whether you are pushing yourself too hard or too far. Generally, in every 12-16 weeks, a person training 3-5 days per week needs a break for 3-5 days. If you feel your time has come, don't hesitate to take the break, if it is not your time, push on.
Does anyone have any specific goals they are working towards? The Shop Winter Games, a running or other endurance event, 5 pounds of weight loss, so you can gain it back on Thanksgiving, strong core and muscular arms so you can fight your way through all the Christmas shoppers?
Everything You Know About Muscle is Wrong is an article written in Mens Health magazine, it is long, informative, and very interesting. I highly recommend reading it.
Post thoughts and work to comments.

Worlock, you picked a great day to run. I will send Becca out with you, but I think I will stay inside today and not catch pneumonia.
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
ReplyDelete"Does anyone have any specific goals they are working towards?"
Answer:
My goal in regards to training is to overcome the limitations I set upon myself while working within the bounds of a "balanced" life.
In other words, I want to perform at the limits of my potential while maintaining focus on my job, family, and personal hobbies. This level of performance may not be the best my body is capable of but I'm not willing to sacrifice the rest of my life in the name of fitness.
I just don't want to have regrets in any aspect of my life.
Lately I've felt like I'm headed in the right direction. Only time will tell.
now, let me take a little time and read what sounds to be a very interesting article Trickle has linked to

ReplyDeleteI do crossfit because I don't want to stop doing the things I love without a fight. I hate to hear people say "at my age, I can't do..."
