Heyyyy!!!! Gosh it feels good to be back in the 'swing' of things... lol. After feeling really sick for a few days, and then better, but still weak, I finally managed to be back in the gym this morning!! Back to my old self, and, believe it or not, one's body actually needs to rest (and if you don't, it will force you by making you feel "ill"). I actually felt a little stronger this morning!
Now, for anyone who believes that training non-stop will make you stay in shape, do yourself a favour and buy the latest TIME magazine (pic inserted) and read their findings on the relationship between food/diet and exercise. Something I've always contested is the fact that training hard does not actually assist in shaping your body, instead, EATING right is more like it! And now scientists are uncovering the hardcore facts! Fixing up your diet, is more important than training intensely! However, the difference comes with building extra muscle and bulking up. You won't build muscle if you don't train them correctly either! But the key here is, feeding AND resting your body/muscles in order to create the perfectly shaped body. I'm far from building the perfect shape of a body, but to me health & fitness is far more important than pushing your body, pumping it with steroids, draining your organs and stretching it to the limit, just to look a certain way. Building it naturally, but in a clever way, will create similar results and you're not undermining your health (and causing it to collapse when you turn older).
It's a Monday today, with the bonus of a shorter week...woohooo!!! Have a blessed day!
