Rocking the Body

[jchrisobrien]

Somehow, I'm more awake after five hours of sleep after seven. Ah, the mysteries of sleep cycles, and the body. Last night I also made it to the gym, and started my new lifting routine, for endurance.

One word: ow.

Perhaps I should scale the weights back a little, but daaaamn there was a nice burn during those exercises. Thanks for the advice Digitalcheshire, even if my body is complaining about it now. Quiet body, you'll be thanking me later.

In other news, painting during my lunch break is a lot more satisfying and less stressful that shooting people up in computer games. Especially considering my skill at First Person Shooters.

light stretching before hand, more stretching afterwards.

Oh no, another reason to eat more bananas? :)

The stretching is important :) Do you do any aerobic type activity to work the acid out of your muscles?

'fraid so :) I rely on calcium supplements with vitamin D (to help absorb the calcium) and other green leafy things :)

i run, but on different days. I used to run, then lift. Perhaps I should do that on the same day again, but in reverse order?

If it wouldn't exhaust you, that might be a good idea. It would certainly help work out the lactic acid, so long as you stay away from the anarobic range of exercise (that builds up more..)
