aches and pains

Two weeks away from exercise is way too long.

It always amazes me how long it takes in order to lose weight, tone and tighten up muscles, and gain a decent amount of endurance and flexibility versus how fast it all easily disappears. Sometimes, some results can be seen in 4 to 6 weeks.

When a person stops training he/she can lose up to 80% of his or her gains in just two weeks. Isn't that crazy? It seems pretty unfair.

There are some pros, though, to give the body a rest in order to allow it to fully recuperate and repair itselt.

Starting with Saturday the 6th of January I'll log the things I have been doing in order to get back into shape.

6 Jan, Saturday: 2 hour-skate practice
7 Jan, Sunday: 1 hr/15 min-endurance & muscle
8 Jan, Monday: 40 min-walk/jog
9 Jan, Tuesday: 40 min-walk/jog
10 Jan, Wednesday: 40 min-walk/jog
11 Jan, Thursday: 40 min-walk/jog
12 Jan, Friday: 40 min-walk/jog (if weather permits)

My routine will be upped a bit starting the 22nd when I add weight resistance training to my program.
