A Quick Update

My legs HURT!. My hamstrings are killing me after lower-body lifting on Wednesday and running cardio on Thursday. I decided to up my cardio time to include a 10-minute warm-up at an intensity of 5 (out of 10) to allow my legs to better cope with the run after Wed's workout. I also decided to up the intensity of my run by speeding up my intensity levels 6-10. Well, the run felt great and finishing level 10 at a 7 minute/mile pace was great progress. But, I completely failed to respect my knowledge of controlled progression through workout intensity, frequency, and duration. Since I increased both intensity and duration drastically, I'm feeling the results today and I HURT! I'll have to do a good, looooooonnng walk followed by a lengthy stretching session tonight to help my muscles recover. Every time I stretch my legs out straight it feels like a painful stretch... definately over-worked myself. Ah well, at least I don't have a permanent injury from my stupidity.

Lynne - I attempted Body4Life on two occasions last year and "failed". I do not believe this was the fault of the program, but speaks to the fact that every individual truly has to be ready to honestly commit (to themselves). I have had a very steady workout schedule since late December 2006 on the Men's Health "Hard-Body" plan. The results are beginning to show and continue to get better. I saw "Ghost Rider" with Nicholas Cage this last weekend and, out of nowhere, was inspired by his ripped eight-pack abs! My wife and I looked at each other in shock. She felt guilt for her reaction and I felt guilty for not working out harder. :) Awesome abs Nick! Keep them! I have a trip to Hawaii in April, so I'll attempt to post some beach photos that show the progress. I'm hoping that another 6 weeks will yield fantastic results... we'll see. They say this stuff takes time.

so how did that work for you?

Hey bro, are you getting huge or what? Next time you get all fired up and do a crazy workout, make sure you rub some of that Sore Muscle Rub on before you go to bed!

Keep up the good work~ I expect you to look just like the cover boy this fall ;)
