Post-Gymnastics

The morning after my gymnastics open gym, my muscles really weren't all that sore. I was actually quite surprised, given the level of intensity of the session.

Now I realize what happened. I woke up this morning (2 mornings after), and pretty much every single muscle in my body started screaming at me. Now, that was what I was expecting. I knew I probably had used muscles that I hadn't used in years. So, this definitely turned out to be one of the single best type of workout. I had tons of strength training, and I had some cardio on the trampoline.

I'm glad I have an extra day until my trapeze class. If it were tonight, I'd be in bad shape. So, today I might walk on the treadmill, but other than that my body needs to rest and recover.

Next time for the open gym session, I'm going to work on a trampoline routine. I had been working on one before I stopped doing gymnastics, and it would be fun to get back into more purposeful trampoline work. The only negative about the open gym session is that you have to be pro-active. There's no one to tell me what I need to do step by step. Of course, this also has its benefits in that you can tailor the intensity of the time to whatever you want.
