72 Hours Of Blissful Patience

Muttered out loud on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 1:53 AM by Jon

They say that you should exercise 30 minutes a day. Heh!

Well, I also heard that you should wait 48 to 72 hours between fitness sessions because your body needs time to “heal” after a workout. The former I heard from laypeople, the latter I heard from fitness gurus. Which one do I believe, and which one do I prefer to believe?

On both counts, I’m going with the 72-hour wait. Work really hard, then take it easy for a couple (two or three) days. Then, work really hard again. However, I think it would be very appropriate to fit *some* exercise in every day, at least fifteen to twenty minutes, but only after the body has gotten into shape enough to handle it, and I still think the strenuous exercises should be broken up and not every day.

Sunday I exercised real good (relatively speaking). Tomorrow (well, today, gosh it’s late) my time will up. Back on the machine! Oomph!
