In all my infinite wisdom, I decided that I was going to join this weight lifting class at the gym. Not just the little hand weights. No. This is a class where you have a bar and place the weights on it yourself. The instructor will tell you when to lighten or load up, but leaves it to your discretion as to what that means to you.
I did not load up heavy. I went light all the way. I almost felt like a wimp looking around and seeing older women with more weight.
I have been living on Icy Hot and a heating pad all week. I can't shift position without my muscles hurting. I walk like an arthritic old woman.
So, what do I do in light of all this? I go back to the next class. I obviously need to be there if I'm feeling it this much.
