Was told by the staff at the gym Monday morning that I could no longer jump rope in the stretching room upstairs. When I asked why, i received an answer very common here - because it is "abunai" (dangerous). I asked if someone had complained, which is definitely what happened, but got no response. I love it, if I am in the way just tell me to stop or move! Not a big deal but I still get a laugh at the inability to be direct.
My energy levels have been pretty low this week - both during the workout and in general. On the workout, I am getting through 15 min of rope without rest, but my resistance training just sucked for a few days - didn't feel very strong until this morning, and hope that I am back on track. BTW, I thought I would be happy to have more leg exercises today until I realized there was an extra set of jumps - that was really intense.
A friend was in town from london last night and a crew all went out to some teppanyaki - a lot of feed, drink and revelry. It was super hard to not cash in the indulgence, but I made it through ok. Note for future reference however, drinking 10 perriers is not good on the gut - almost felt sick when I got home.
Yikes, 10 Perriers! My bladder would revolt!
ReplyDeleteThe weak feeling days are actually when your body is cranking out the most muscle. So you're more "on track" then than a day when you crush it.
ReplyDeleteI get some strange looks at the gym when jumping rope, though they haven't told me to stop yet. Weather outside is great now for jumping though...baird beer indulgence manyana?
