Thanks Tim,

I did a hundred hindu squats last night (with a couple quick breaks). And the thighs are pretty sore today.

The hindu pushups are another story altogether. I am used to doing them with my feet together and only doing 3-5 reps per workout. Last night I was only able to do 2 sets of 15 (proper) hindu pushups!

Peace

Congratulations. I am on the repair from a hamstring pull. I'm at about 99% recovered, but I will be taking at least one more week off. Once I'm good again I will be hitting the hindu squats and push-ups (among other things!).

Great to hear you feel better!
Remember, when you first start training, you may feel you have a load of extra energy, and you may even feel more flexible than before. Despite this build up somewhat graudally getting back into training. Otherwise you might find yourself back in square one if you push yourself too far too quickly.

All the best with your training!

Thanks for the concern and advice. My problem is more that I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of working out again! LOL! Rolling out of the sack in the morning has been extremely difficult lately.

Hi Mailman
I know what you mean! I find it hard to get the time in in the morning to do things like dynamic stretches. (I always do my main workout in the evenings)

Perhaps someone has some motivational tips out there? How do you (anyone) keep yourself mentally 'in training'.

One thing I do it is by keeping a training log. Each day during my lunch break I update the log with what I did the previous evening(it is on my computer at work). I note things down like what I did, but also number of reps etc. I find this motivating as it is useful to look back and see how far I have come and also plan where I am going. I also put together 5 weeks training plans. It takes me a few hours to put them together, but once done, there is a lot less thinking needed each day with my training. I have been doing this for over a year now and so I am able to judge what my body needs/can handle without over training. (as always, despite the plan, I listen to my body - if rest is needed it gets it!)

Even so, at times my training does slip..! Especially when you take a break from training for a few weeks (be it because of school holidays or illness or family events por whatever)

Anyone else have any ideas on motivation?
