Most people have New Years resolutions that are unobtainable. I don’t believe in changing something at the start of the new year; I believe on starting that change on a Monday or whatever day may fall next. I do believe in desert resolutions – when you’re in the desert you have plenty of time to devote to whatever cause one might choose. My cause – the gym.
I did a terrible job of making it to the gym last fall and I knew that my trip to the desert was going to be the time to turn that all around. Aside from being horrendously out of shape (and I’m not talking about being round) things have been going relatively well. I’m not incredibly limber but that does come with time. I took the first 5 day relatively light to warm myself up to the notion of self induced physical abuse and now I’m going as hard as I can. Age and experience have forced me to listen to my body so that I prevent injuries and prevent previous injuries from coming back to haunt me (at one point in time I thought I was invincible…. stupid stupid me)
I haven’t been slinging around that much weight this time but I’ve been focusing on using my body weight for most of the exercises in the hope that it will prevent injury.
