How many did you do today?

[Kiki]

Are you saying I should not to force myself today?

 

[Kiki]

It's not like I'm lifting weights, I'm just doing squats... Are squats that powerful?

 

[Kiki]

Okay never mind.... The light bulb went off.

You're saying I should force myself to rest.
Got it.
No more squats today.

What?

I'm confused.

Your muscles rebuild themselves after shredding them. They come back bigger, and stronger. If you continue breaking them down without time for them to rebuild, you are negating the workout. If your muscles are sore, rest them, and work on your arms, back, or chest.

Take the day. Muscle building works by tearing the muscle fibers and then letting them heal -- like how scar tissue is thicker and tougher than normal skin. However, the muscles need time to heal and thicken.

I'm awake now....I figured out what you were saying.

I just realized... it's kind of funny how exercise is one of those things where they tell you to not overdo it because you'll break something, but exercise is really technically all about breaking things.
You need to break stuff to make it stronger. They tell you not to do too much because you'll break something.
I mean, I get what they mean, completely, but it sounds kind of odd when one puts it like that, doesn't it...?

I set up my Fitbit today so I’ve already been moving a lot more than normal

I’m gonna test it some more and go on a long walk after I finish eating.
