Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 92

I actually pretty much had to take Thursday, Friday and Saturday off to recover from Tuesday and Wednesday - my tendonitis really got bad... so I took that time off. I must have been exhausted, I really didn't even feel like exercising.

I did heaps of computer-y work... and guess what... my RSI came back.
Basically, if I do a lot of computering and mousing, the tops of my hands start to get painful whenever I reach for a mouse. I've been managing it for 15 years, and have all the devices, and basically have it under control. One of the biggest improvements was doing all my forearm exercises... so, that's how I knew it was time.

Sunday is my forearm exercise day anyway, so the timing was perfect!

I also smashed out some cardio. I've been watching Jessica Jones on Netflix while doing the Cross Trainer... it's really the only TV time I get, so it's good, I actually look forward to smashing out some cardio now.

Balance is so important... I had to go hard early last week and paid the price for it... it happens occasionally and that's okay, but a balance weekly workout regime means you won't need to take breaks and you can improve continuously.
