Gentleman, start your engine!!!

Its really finally starting, I began training again over the last few days… my break is over, and now is the time to really begin.. I feel fat and squishy, my leg definition is gone, my endurance, quickness, and peak strength are pretty pathetic compared to normal. However, I REALLY want to train right now, and I am so looking forward to feeling fit again (I know I am pretty fit and healthy by most measures, but I really don’t feel that way at all right now).

Today’s workout was actually pretty easy, an hour on the powercranks, 4X10 minutes of pretty low rpm and high resistance work. Kept the HR under 170. No real pain, this is more getting myself back into the groove of things. The body responds to structured effort and work more than “just kind of ride yourself into shape”. So I try to always have some structure to what I do…

powercranks are phenomenal training tools. I must admit that I am pretty biased, since I do work for them (their website is my work) but I was a customer before I was their developer, and I would be singing their praises no matter.

Dang, it feels great to really sweat again! I want to stoke that engine, that kernal of metabolism, that furnace of me!
