My exercise minutes are down a little this week and I missed a strength-training workout due to some muscle pain in my trapezius. I aggravated an old high school volleyball injury by being inattentive and rushed during an abdominals workout. I know better. The problem was that I didn’t want to work out at all so somehow giving it less than full due was supposed to improve the situation. Sigh.
The good news is it’s already back to about 80% in only two days. This is the sort of injury that used to set me back weeks. I assume that the quicker healing is due to all the great muscle development I’ve been getting the last few years.
I walked every day and I’m sure by tomorrow I’ll be ready to ease back into strength training.
What do you do when you don’t feel like working out to get yourself back in the groove?
