Workout Tip

This falls into the category of “You know you’re old when…” :
My normal schedule is to go to the YMCA to work out about once or twice a week – usually once a week. Due to one reason or another, I haven’t been for the past couple of weeks until tonight. The first machine was the back extension, where you push against the weights by leaning back.
I knew it was going to be a long night when I thought the machine was stuck because it wasn’t moving when I tried to lean back. It turns out that it wasn’t broken – the problem was that my back wasn’t used to moving weights. It was the same amount of weight I’ve been using for the past few sessions. How quickly the body degrades…
The tip? – Don’t take too long of a break between workouts.
Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble

Are you sure it was just a week or two? Strength training helps maintain and build your muscle mass and you can take a break or two without losing any of your previous work. It is your aerobic capacity that flies out the window and waves goodbye if you take a day or two off.
