Small things make big differences

Posted by Michelle | Filed under training

For about 2 months now I’ve made sure that I tack at least 10 minutes of light cardio on the end of my weights sessions. The difference is phenominal. I’d read it’s helps calm the CNS and Wow! it works for me. I haven’t felt the nasty fatigue I’ve been lugging around for most of the year. A few times I’ve wanted to race out the gym and get an earlier bus home, but there’s no way it’s worth it.

In other exciting news I’m starting the PN lean eating program. This should totally nail my Level 2 goals.

    Michelle,

    What’s CNS? I’ve also been thinking about hitting the treadmill after weight training, but I never heard that it makes a huge difference – tell me more!

    Also, THANK YOU for your comment on stumptuous.com’s “Positive Thinking is Overrated.” A little light bulb came on when I read that you eat tuna and spinach for breakfast, then hit the gym. I tried it/I love it! I’m starting the PN Fat Loss Kick-Start (which I read about in your side bar, thank you!), and look forward to droppin’ it like it’s hot!

    Hi Jeanne,
    CNS is Central Nervous System. Basically you’re using the part of your caveman body which is trained to run from lions when you’re weight training and you need to switch back to ‘there’s no danger’ mode and this is what the cool-down walk is for me.
    Look forward to seeing you around PN.
