While some people struggle to make it to the gym consistently, I find myself in a place where it’s challenging to stay away from the gym for any length of time aside from our typical one or two rest days each week. My workout partner feels the same way. I can’t keep him out of the gym. Often times he’ll head back later in the day to do some light accessary work while training with his teenage son.
I love the gym. It’s my serenity. I love the atmosphere. I love the challenge. I love the process. I love the journey. I absolutely love physique training and the lifestyle that goes with it. In the words of Jerry McGuire, it “Completes Me” 🙂
But the question is, are we doing more harm than good? Do we really need to schedule a recovery week even though we feel incredible? We don’t feel run down in the slightest. We don’t have nagging injuries, aches or pains. We’re making good progress and we’re having a blast!
