My recent exploding stomach syndrome got me thinking about a couple of things.
1. Why do I work out?
2. Am I working out correctly?
So why do I work out? For s few reasons, most of them the same as everyone else who works out. Becoming a father inspired me to sort my life style out. The thoughts of my kids losing their dad when they were young was something I couldn't live with. So I quit smoking , drinking , and all the other "fun" things I used to do and decided to become fit and healthy. Now I wasn't starting from scratch I as an outdoor instructor at the time and in the local mounting rescue team so running around the mountings of mayo had me as fit as a goat.
I also want to be bigger, stronger and look and feel good about myself.
But the main reason why I and most men work out is to be able to defend our families from the upcoming ZOMBIE apocalypse !
While I was doing a light upper body workout today I realized that this w's the first day in a long time that I had taken the time to really warm up. I was warming up because of my abdominal strain? This to me is the wrong reason. I should be warming up for every workout without fail. So I'm taking this as a lesson learned, warm up or face the double pain of an injury and not being able to workout. From now on I think I will get up earlier and instead of blasting through the workouts to get them out of the way I'm instead going to relax, take it easy, slow my workouts down and focus on the muscles that are being worked.
Any thoughts or tips would be great.
Hope this will make sense to some of you.
