Because I wasn't feeling too flash I didn't do cardio for 4 days!!! and it felt great. Even if I did want to do cardio I really didn't have the energy to do it so I listen to my body and just took it easy. However I still went to gym, sure I didn't look great and felt drained but its more important to me to keep my muscle mass and metabolism up through weight training than to continually be depleted through trying to do full on cardio. I still trained 4 days but just increased my reps and sets so it felt like I was doing little bit of cardio. I know I probably shouldn't have but I still took Trixie for a walks around the block and up to the Reserve in the afternoons, hey a girl has to get out doesn't she?!! I'm not so good at being the sick girl lying in bed all day. Plus I still had some clients to train so thanks for putting up with my sniffling ladies. It wasn't till Thursday that I could finally get back into my full cardio regime. I got stuck into my morning and evening cardio blasting, and it felt great to get the cobwebs (and the flem) out of my system. Currently I feel behind the 8 ball and feel like I'm bit behind in my cardio because of my missed days, but you can't bring back time. Sure I have the urge to do extra cardio now that I'm well but that isn't really going to do me any good as I'll just be depleting myself and might even have another bout of the flu. All I can do is stick to my eating and training plan and make sure I'm fit and healthy so I can see through the next 8 weeks in good health. |
