The Downside of Exercise

The Downside of Exercise

I know what you’re thinking… Ummm Dan the drawback/downside of exercising is that it sux. Hey, many would agree with you, but for those of us that actually enjoy exercise and the benefits that it brings, there is another downside… muscle soreness.

After a certain period of excercise (its usually about 8-10 spin classes for me) our muscles need all the built up tension, toxins and acids massaged out of them. Whilst the actual massage itself can be very satisfying when all those knots of tension are released (sometimes it can be excruciating, especially those ITB’s.. ouch) the aftermath is never as pretty.

I’m sitting here now with a whopper of a migraine courtesy of the massage. Yes, we are supposed to drink tonnes of water after a massage, and I always do, but today was one of those stinking hot days when it didn’t matter how quick the water went in the sweat took it out.

So, that’s the downside of exercise. I feel incredibly lousy right now, almost like I’m totally unfit, but I know that tomorrow I should be right as reign.

    @Gil: I’ll have to channel my inner girl then, even though I’m a bald 30-something male (as per the avatar top right of the post).

    I totally agree with you on “feeling energized”. You know what they say… The more energy you give, the more you get back!

    It is different here in Canada. When I get to the gym I have to be careful to warm up as I am cold just from walking form the parking lot into the gym. Tomorrow morning I have to scrape the snow of my car before I can go to work. Please don’t complain about the heat! Australia seems like a dream compared to Canada in the winter. lol

    It’s a fact that exercise is a key component of happiness. If you feel down or suffer with bouts of depression then the best thing you can do is walk, jog on the spot, jump up and down, anything – just get moving.

    I look forward to intense physical work and when I’m sweating whilst it feels clammy and my face is burning up I can feel that it is doing me good. One word about sweating, you should wipe it away instantly before it is reabsorbed as it contains toxins etc. expelled through the skin.

    If you fearfully think you’re about to have a heart attack, cough suddenly – it starts the heart. You’ll just have to trust me here. Eat beetroot 5 times a week for healthy blood pressure.
    Eat oats every day. They calm the central nervous system and stimulate the muscles so you will calmly feel like exercising, let your body tell you how far to go then just push a little further every time for good measure.

    After vigorous exercise always work down otherwise you will suffer residual aches and pains.

    I agree with Tommy this is the only way to a health lifestyle of working out is you need to raise your heart beats per min up. This is only achieved by going that extra limit.
