day 18 - this one's for the ladies

hello my friends.

I just finished a 3 mile power walk.

 

 

I took it easy today and I will for the next few days.

I have a pattern of working out hard for 2-3 weeks,

then feeling like a gelatinous, weak blob for 1 week or so.

I know my ladies feel me.

and i'm not using the cyclical nature of my hormones

as an excuse to be lazy.

I still geared up and got some exercise!

during this time I really can't go hard.

effective exercise comes from the core

and well my core feels like crap haha

so I did steady state cardio to still burn energy

and get my endorphin high.

 

I feel a little bit down on myself

because I wanted to follow

the workout challenges and calendars

I had set out to do.

But I'm listening to my body.

It's telling me to take it easy,

so I'm going to listen.

 

(maybe this is something I should address

when making workout plans for women?)

 

and hey if you're going through the very same thing

I want you to know

IT'S OKAY, you can take it easy.

exercise is meant to improve your state
not to make you feel guilty

 

I want to know how you feel about this topic

leave me a comment below.
