Being sore from training is part of the fun. When you are so
sore it feels like a crowbar hitting you it’s best to step back a bit, not a
whole lot though. It takes discipline to keep going even when you don’t always
have the strength to do something the next day. Be mindful and listen to your
body.
There have
been guys that got so sore from a workout it takes days sometimes weeks to
recover but that shouldn't stop you from doing what you love. Little by little
do something till you recover. Recovery is a priority because if you believe
you’re going to challenge yourself during every workout till you drop you’re
setting yourself up for injury. Do little workouts while you recover, this
helps keep the blood flowing and might help you recover quicker. You want to
let your muscles rest so they can build themselves back up and help you be
stronger next time around. If you’re used to big workouts and don’t get sore
that easy that’s one thing but the majority of people need quality rest and
food to bounce back.
As you
recover, take the time to reflect on your next challenge. Those little sessions
during that cycle can make all the difference when you give your mind the
chance to figure out what you can do next. Mental strength is a must otherwise
you’re just bouncing around like an idiot and just doing physical work without
any real discipline. Be tough but don’t be like a smart ass, be mindful and
endure it because once you recover and you’re at your best again, you’ll be far
stronger. Meditation practice is a great way for recovery. One other form is
channeling your energy during those little workouts, do them right and you’ll
feel like you just got an adrenalin rush and your body is surging with
strength. What I like about CoreForce Energy is that it teaches you how to use
your strength at anytime even when you’re sore because the power within you
will give you that surge with intense focus and it can never be broken. It is
also one of the greatest recovery tools I've ever encountered bar none.
At the next
challenge you might end up being crazy sore again but also you repeat the
cycle. Reflect, do little workouts that keeps your blood flowing and learn to
channel your energy. There will be times where you won’t get sore at all and
your strength is just uncanny and powerful that recovery is merely instant. For
most of us, we need to recover after a big session and build ourselves back up.
Take your time but don’t slack off. Sore after a big lifting session? Do some
flexibility work, build your energy and eat plenty because the right foods will
help you in ways you can’t imagine.
We all get
sore after some kind of big workout whether it’s....
Whatever but that doesn't mean
you stop training all together. Do something that isn't that vigorous or do a
percentage of your challenge workout every few days or so, listen to your body.
Magazines or Infomercials will tell you to do this after a big workout or only
X amount of days to recover, it’s all really bullshit because that’s just a
generic look at what they believe you should do. Do what works for you, listen
to your body and recover when you need to, to get yourself back in the game.
