All Those Years
The Big E As I go to the gym I find that I can generally do most of what is asked of me. It's not that the trainers don't push me or challenge me--they certainly do, more than I would push myself. But there are so many muscles to strengthen, so many ways to work on endurance, it just is not possible to stay on top of everything. Having said that, I must also admit to having my own streak of laziness, which I must constantly fight against. I periodically find something I'm bad at, muscles that are just plain weak. For example, back in the early days of my involvement with Rock Steady Boxing (RSB), we did more than just boxing. One day we did a bunch of squats and lunges, and the next day I felt some soreness in my legs. Having done many squats and lunges all those years ago in the Navy, I knew the solution--do more of those exercises. So I added them to my at-home workouts, just one set of 50 each, two days per week. Voila, no more sore leg...
