Sometimes You Need to Listen

After doing the Turkish Get Ups and OH walking lunges, me legs have been killing me.  My body is sore from pushing it the last 2 days.  Today when I got off work, I was going to do a quick workout before I had to go to court.  I had about 30 min. for a warm up and WOD.  As I began warming up, my body was aching.  My legs were sore, to the point where I could feel the lactic acid build up in my legs with each step.  It was that soreness you get when you haven't worked out a part of your body for awhile.  The rest of my body was pretty fatigued and sore too.  Combine that with the 12 + hour day I had at work, and I was a  hurting man.  I decided to listen to my body and take today off and work on a few movements.

I decided that I would practice my snatch today.  So I put 65 lbs. on the bar and did a few sets, practicing my form and explosiveness.  After that, I decided to continue my work on hand stand pushups.  I was able to do a few 5 second holds in the hand stand position today.  This was an improvement from last time.  The thing that I learned today was you can't always keep going and going.  You can have a set schedule for your workouts and stick to it, but sometimes you need to listen to your body instead.  And today, that is what I did.
