Something Is Seriously Wrong

Prefontaine Was Legendary For Pain Endurance

Ever have some ache or pain and wonder what to do about it? Wonder how long it will last? Or expect it to go away in a few days?

Me too.

For three weeks, resting, stretching, taking it very easy, being careful.

And the pain is getting worse.

Doing Nothing Is Important

Are you  ready and willing to compromise? I mean, literally, every single day?

And if you are ready, what allows you to be ready? Have you always been like this?

Or have years of practice led you to the place where you are today?

Yesterday, it was pick one:

  • Workout after teaching all day
  • Go home and get to bed early, to get 8 hours sleep

Rest is a critical part of our overall health, and sometimes doing nothing (sleeping) is more important than exercise.

No Seriously, Do You?

What If You Wait Three More Years?
What If You Wait Three More Years?

Good health, meaning proper (not perfect) diet, regular (not compulsive) exercise, and adequate (consistent) rest are the keys to good health.

Good health doesn’t fall from the sky.

Good health isn’t going to get easier as you get older.

Good health isn’t going to wait until you have more time.

Good health is hard to come by.

Do you want it?

No seriously, do you?

Sick

Hello Lane 8 readers.  It’s 3:30PM here in Central Florida.  It’s also Friday.  Woo-hoo!

However, I’m sick and just woke up.  There may be a post here later today, but it’s doubtful.  Need to fall back to sleep.

Sleep is a great painkiller.

For now, thank you for visiting and wishing you a great Friday, full of good health and a good workout, and good choices with your food, and your rest.

Workouts are anything that challenges you to use your body at least a little more than usual.  As simple as parking in the back of the parking lot versus the front.

Skipping Is Easy

Skipping a day of exercise is an easy thing to do.  In fact, it’s actually one of the easiest things to do.  How do I know? Because I did it yesterday.

It was easy.

Just don’t go to the gym.  How hard is that?  It’s not.

However, the intent was to pick up our son at school and head to Gold’s Gym like we commonly do.  The reason I really wanted to go is because I hadn’t been in four days.

Too much time in between workouts does several things:

  • Too much rest negates previous efforts
  • Too much rest makes us lazy
  • Too much rest makes it easier to skip

Skipping a day of exercise is an easy thing to do.  When it comes to taking care of yourself, are you an example or a warning?
