LIfting makes me feel lazy

[Dilnad]

Now that I'm hitting the gym hard on my 3 days a week I am feeling lazy and like I should be at the gym on my off days. I still walk my 10k steps on those days, I just feel this itch to work out even though I know I am by resting my muscles.  When I was lazy I didn't feel lazy. Now that I'm no longer lazy, I feel lazy. Go figure LOL

If you are just dying to do something on your off days, then either do some type of speed, or skill work. Box jumps, pushups, handstands, and abs all give you a training effect without putting much on recovery.

Be careful of the tag-along mentality that sometimes accompanies this line of thinking.  There's nothing wrong with wanting to do more in the week, but make sure you don't curse yourself for doing less.  That's how obsessions and eventually disorders are born!

Good stuff!!

It's kind of funny. I've gone from having no interest in working out to addicted to it. I hope that addiction sticks, LOL

It just sounds like newbie fever to me. I felt the same thing before I got a firm understanding that there is a lot more to this than just time spent in the gym.

Absolute definite n00bsauce!! I was stating a fact, not really whining about it. I actually find it comical.

Hopefully it will be good for Monday.. Still also been doing body pump but have kept my squat weight lower than usual

I worked out last night with a slightly sore hip ( thought it was just from sitting funky. I get that a lot ). Um, bad theory. Now I've got a really sore hip. Good thing it's an off day. It's actually quite comfortable on the motorcycle. <G>
