Ow. I started a new core training program to mix in with my usual riding today. It's et outside, I needed a rest day and I figured, why not? Good day, right?
How can I describe the pain and humiliation of the first day of this workout? By the end I was talking to dead relatives I never met. What's amazing is that this workout was just three circuits lasting 7 minutes each with rest periods in between, a five minute warm-up on the bike and a stretching cool down. All in all, it was under 35 minutes of actual work. But in my head it was seven hours of trudging through the desert wearing a suit of bricks.
I can say this though: I may finally drop the ten pounds that won't seem to go away. I'll also be stronger and it will really help with much of the riding, both in strength and endurance.
Now I'm going to go cry in the corner. I know eventually this won't hurt as much.
