Too Much?

It seems I won't have a chance to work out Thursday, so I'm making up for it today. Or am I? Working out the same muscle groups 3 days in a row without a day off may work, or it may over-stress those muscles and joints giving a diminished return, with increased risk of injury. I guess we'll see.

Missed Day Makeup

I missed working out this weekend so I'm seeing if I can just make it up today. When working out you need to give your body enough rest so it can rebuild, but I'm not a power-lifter and don't think 2 consecutive days should be too bad.

Working Out With the Kids

Most of the days I work out, I'm working out with my kids. They are learning proper safety, form, and the joys of working out, in addition to gaining some strength and self-confidence. I don't force them to work out with me, and some days they choose to play racquetball or go down to the skate park and ride skateboards. It is good they can see the benefits of exercise and are enjoying it.
