Today is the first workout day where I’m not working out. I feel a little anxious about it. I’m just coming off of a six week break (I injured my elbow) and was/am really motivated to hit it hard. Now I’m in the middle of the week off. Part of me wants to keep working out — and I’m glad I feel that motivation — and part of me understands why I need the break.
I firmly believe that my elbow injury came about because I had worked out three to five days a week for nine months without a break. After reading NROL, I understand that our bodies need a break to repair some of the damage that comes from weight training.
I just can’t wait to get started on the next workout. I guess that’s a good problem to have. I can’t remember the last time I was looking forward to Monday.
