summer is around the corner..


..today,i woke up early morning excited for the summer,can't wait to be in the outdoors and spend time frolicking under the sun. I turn on the radio,had my breakfast with a french toast(with eggs,bacon and non-fat butter),strawberries,milk and thinking of doing something worth doing..i did started doing my exercises,which includes six sets of 12 reps each of push ups with my fingers(closed-chain kinematics) which I usually do to strengthen my upper extremities(fingers and forearms in particular) which is needed for my rock climbing, but it's good for the chest too..i did a couple of upper body strengthening as well,shoulders,lats,biceps and triceps to mention, six sets each body part starting at 16reps decrements..its pretty amazing when you feel the rush of blood when you exercise, but of course if you stop doing it for quite a while, you'll probably get DOMS(delayed onset muscle soreness) which typically lasts 72 hours,wherein during those periods,lactic acid accumulate in the muscles which normally happens..just giving your muscle sometime to recover and then you'll off to go again..the thing is doing exercise is exciting when you do it in a right way,you'll feel good after you've done it and it gives you a sense of confidence, a sense of self-worth..

getting back to exercise..


..setting goals and acting on them is a challenge for most of us,so as getting yourself back in exercising after a while due to enormous reasons,busy schedules,time constraints,and other demands of life but the bottom line is,it is your prerogative when to start exercising and how to be able to manage things at the same time without compromising your exercise routine..
