The pain! The agony!
I thought that I was taking it easy yesterday when I started using my weights again. Ow! I'm having a hard time walking today. So, here's some advice when you start up an exercise program after a bit of a lay-off.
Start much lower than you think you should. I mean somewhere around 25% of your old maxes. And then do half the number of sets.
You can always increase the weights if you feel ok, but if you end up like I am today, it can blow the whole week out.
The new motto is:
Start slow. Slow progress. Steady achievement.
I think I need a painkiller...
