Today's thought

Today (Wednesday) was another kickboxing session with @colossus39. Like a lot of people that workout consistently, I’m suffering from one or two niggles. A few days ago, it was my right trap giving me issues. Today I had a strain in my left foot and my left wrist flared up again.

You’re never going to be 100% if you’re training hard and often. The key, for me, is deciding what I can work through and what requires serious attention. At the time my trap issues felt like something debilitating. However I worked through it and now it’s fine. My foot, though painful feels like its going to clear up. I probably strained it when I was doing calf raises on Monday.

My wrist feels more serious. I’m going to try to purchase some wrist support and see if I can work through it. If not I’m going to have to be super selective about the exercises I can and cannot do until it clears up.

One thing I use to do, is stop working out completely when I had an injury. That’s something I don’t let happen now. Unless I literally cannot move I’ll always find something I can do in the gym. Even if it is light exercise to keep me ticking over. I strongly believe that consistency trumps intensity when it comes to realising your strength and fitness goals.
