Work Out Freak

Wow I really outdid myself the last couple of weeks with daily workouts of Power & Hot Yoga, Weights, Runs, Walks, Dancing, and various Group Exercises.  I’m stronger, faster, and tougher, but also more hungry, tired, and exhausted.

After a Hot Yoga on Wednesday and 3 hours of Salsa that night, I managed 5 hours of sleep.  Damn adrenaline induced insomnia!  The next day, after a workout, I decided that a couple of group exercise classes prior to dinner would be challenging.  After the first class, 24 Hr Set, I was exhausted.  Should have left then.  But decided what the heck, and stayed for the Yoga class.  By then my arms and legs were literally shaking, and my back ached.  Poses that normally would have been a piece of cake became a Herculean feat.  I literally collapsed a few times.  But I got myself up, and kept going.  When it was over, I was numb, but glad!

Lesson:  Eating, Pacing & Resting are good before extreme exercise.
