Rest can do a Body good!!

It is amazing what a little rest
can do for your body!!
If you are anything like me,
you might get scared that backing
down every now and then from your workouts
will set you back.
Well, reality is that if your body is tired,
you MUST back down to progress!!
At the advice of my Trainer/Coach BJ
at Full Throttle Athletics
I have backed down the last couple weeks,
and feel stronger then before!
I had alot of anxiety backing down.
I felt like I was failing because
I felt like my body was failing me!
I am big on keeping my commitments.
Working out, progressing, being healthy and strong,
are all commitments that I not only made to myself
but also commitments that I made to BJ and Kori.
So, for me to feel as though I was not keeping
up with those commitments as
"strong" as before was VERY stressful for me!
Thanks to great coaching by BJ,
my way of thinking has changed!!
There is less anxiety because
this week I felt great in the gym.
Stronger, and ready to get back to business!!
Now, I didn't COMPLETELY stop my
workouts. I just backed down from 5 days to
2-3 days.
About another week and I will be ready for
my 4-5 days again!! :)
So, my advice is to ALWAYS listen to your BODY!!
If you are all of a sudden struggling in your workouts,
feeling more tired then usual, take care of yourself!!
Get some rest and eat well.
Your body and mind will Thank You! :)
Mine certainly did!!
So I found this little quote I thought was pretty cool!
It really signifies what the whole Full Throttle
community is about!! :)
"The lion in the jungle makes every other animal sit up and take notice as soon as he lets out a roar. He didn't get that way through artificial paraphernalia or through springs and wires and trick dumbells. He became the king of the jungle through constant natural use of every muscle in his body."~ Charles Atlas
