The gym workout
- 2 minutes of rower - keeping it under 2-2.10
- 1 minute of rope slams
- shuttle runs
- sled runs x 4
This of course is after a variety of sprint drills.
There is nothing worse that having that feeling that your just about to come down with something. At first you think the muscle aches are due to your workouts, but you soon realise that your body feels like the aftermath of a heavy night out but without the alcohol. The question then stands - do you or do you not go to the gym? My answer is and always will be yes, if your healthy enough to go to work, you can still function at a normalise rate, then why not go to the gym. That was my answer today and I am glad I followed through, it would have been too easy not to go to the gym, but somehow I actually feel a lot better now then I did before I went. Yes my body wasn't functioning as well as what it should have been, the energy levels were not as high but I still had an awesome workout. I still worked hard and kept on going and now feel so much better for it. So why not do your workout if your feeling a little under the weather? Although, everyone is different. You still need to listen to your body and let your body rest and recover, especially is you want to get the most out of your workout. If you have have a fever, or the flu or stomach problems, stay at home and get better but if its a minor cold, or aching muscles or even a runny nose - you can still make the gym.
