Absolute Fatigue = Absolute pain!

So yesterday morning my trainer introduced me to a weight cycle called absolute fatigue. I basically lifted weights (targeting different muscles in my arms and shoulders) until I was tired, then was encouraged to lift them 5 more times, wow what a struggle. Once done, rather than enter into a recovery/rest phase, I had to do another exercise which basically drained the last drop of strength from my muscles. The purpose of this exercise is to stimulate muscle growth (I think). Anyway, it felt great yesterday but this morning I am feeling quite sore. I love learning new things and always feel the need to know why I'm doing something.... When I know the why's it makes it easier for me to push to make sure I am do it correctly.

This morning I have an appointment with an osteopath. Now from what I know, they use massage therapy, chiropractic therapy and accupuncture in their treatment. After years of not looking after myself physically it is time to get things moving. I don't think I even realize how uncomfortable I am sometimes, just because I have lived with my back issues for so many years and just tried to compensate for it, which of course caused more long term problems. Anyway, this is the newest addition to my journey. I will write about it more later.

NOTE: I am opening up my Blog(and myself) to my personal trainer. I have not let anybody that I know in real life read my blog yet, but I think some of the stuff I write about will give him a good insight into how *F* up I really am (haha).

Personal trainer(who shall remain nameless) if you are here, welcome!
