I think I already said this before, but being sick or having
to stay away from my normal workout routine due to an injury turns me into an incredibly grumpy person. I am on day four
of forced rest and I am itching to go back to the gym. Logically I understand
that rest is required, that I will be able to come back to my routines quicker
if I give myself time to rest and rejuvenate, but emotionally I am a mess. Over
the last few years I have gotten use to leaving my stress at the gym, and
although there were moments of self doubt about my fitness progress, I never
doubted one thing -- working towards my fitness goals made me very happy.
Since I could not go to the gym this morning due to this incessant
sinus infection, I decided to relive some stress by doing simple meditation.
Granted, I haven't meditated in a long while, but I have to say, it has nothing
on lifting heavy weights or doing 30 burpees. It just isn't the same for me. I
am really looking forward to finally being able to keep my date with the Smith
machine at some point this week.
So, dear friends, since I can't be out there doing pullups, pushups, squats, and deadlifts, get off your butts and go do something active for me. A few pushups, a few bench dips, some jumping jacks, superman planks, and burpees will totally make your day! Seriously, go do it, then call me and tell me all about it. 'cause I AM DYING HERE!!!! :)
