As usual, I feel most my questions require backstory so that will be the smaller font, the real question will be below in this normal font
I sometimes go help my Dad at work lugging around huge bags of carpet underlay that can weigh anything from 70lbs to 160lbs depending on quality. In my younger days I used to be able to shift these onto my shoulder and move them around no problem. Until last week I had not been to work with him for about 2 maybe 3 years.. and this time he picked up a bag and threw it at me expecting me to catch it like before, and I fell flat on my backside. I felt SO weak.. so I've started working out again.
So, fellow fitness freaks..
I've bought some weighted training clothing (a 10kg vest and 4x 2kg sweatbands for legs and arms) to wear while I work out - Would it be problematic if I wore these all the time instead of just during work out? Would it cause strain on my bones or something silly like that?
Also, I'm in constant pain all over my body now I've been working out daily... my friend says its cause I'm not streatching properly.. What streatches do I need to do if all I'm doing is sit ups, press ups and chin/pull ups?
Any form of reply appreciated |
I would say simply work out
without the weighted clothing.
No need to strain yourself.
You definitely need to do warm up stretching before you start lifting heavy weights.
It sounds as if a 'Body Pump' type class scenario is more what you are wanting.
A walk or jog morning and evening also works wonders.
But yes, do stretching exercise first.
Do you smoke?
Hope this helps somewhat and I think this should be moved to the fitness thread
