Missed Some Time From The Gym?
If you have been away from the gym or your regular fitness routine because of illness or you just needed a rest, there is something you should know.
When you first go back it’s going to hurt if you try to train as hard as you did before you missed some time.
Start off slow, don’t try to do the same workout you did just before you stopped. Take your time, do maybe half of your workout and don’t push it.
Train this way for maybe the first 3 or 4 workouts. Gradually increase your work load.
By doing this you will greatly decrease the soreness in your muscles and increase your recovery time.
Now for the Good news.
It all comes back very quickly to where you left off . So even though you may feel a little uncomfortable or maybe a little off balance, don’t worry about it.
The ability to bounce back comes from whats called “Muscle Memory”.
My next post will be about, you guessed it, “Muscle Memory”.
