RE: Myths Surrounding Exercises; Here What You Need To Know
I think my daughter is an exercise addict. If she doesn't 'work out' she feels frustrated, lethargic. When she's traveling, she does a lot of bike riding--I mean a lot :). Her chosen profession is dance, a very athletic form of dance. She doesn't take protein supplements but actually prefers a vegetarian diet (this is a philosophical choice), although she will eat meat, depending on the circumstances. A workout for her seems to be about half an hour. Are there exercise addicts, and is that a good thing? I have to think it's better to be that than a 'couch potato'. I was thinking about her as I read your blog. She seems to know a lot about treating sore muscles--I guess you pick that up if you exercise a lot. I'm going to send her a link to your blog. Can't hurt, can it?
It sure can't. Hahaha. By the way:
Me, myself practice vegetarian diet on Monday, which is today (Meatless Monday). Being a vegetarian is a much more convenient way to lose weight if you don't want to cut any of the carbohydrates in your diet. That's the beauty of fibre which would control the rate of absorption of glucose thus balancing our insulin hormone.
I'm an exercise addict. I went to the gym and workout for 2 hours every single day but that doesn't mean I should abuse my muscles to the point of feeling soreness. My principle is "if you want to commit, you have to be smart about it". We don't sprint during a 21 km marathon. We build our tempo and run slowly towards our goal.
I think your daughter is doing great. We learn a trick or two regarding how to treat sore muscles ourselves along the way, naturally.
:) Thank you. And she is great in every other way.
