Goal weight: 195 lbs.
Monday and Saturday: I run at least 40 minutes.
Tuesday through Friday: I do my hour-long morning workout.
Sunday: I rest.
Sunday’s the day when I give my 44-year-old body a break. (Before it breaks.)
Tenth-grade P.E. taught me that muscles have to have rest before they could grow. Exercise causes tiny tears in the muscle fiber. Rest allows them to heal stronger than before. Who am I to argue with my P.E. teacher? Sunday school taught me that the seventh day was the day God rested. Who am I to argue with my Sunday school teacher? (Well I did a few times, but I was a headstrong child)
So if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go soak my legs in ice.
Good for you
