Bitches, when training, please don't go overboard. There is a big difference between kicking your ass & kicking your ass so hard you literally can't get up. I am now stuck on my couch for the next few days until my muscles in my back relax. Here are some pointers on how to avoid being a dumb ass in the gym:
There is a difference between working a muscle & completely straining it. If you can't do at least 8 reps, lessen your weight.
STRETCH. I can't emphasize this enough. Do it before & after your workout. In addition to preventing injuries, serious stretching can increase your fitness level & allow you to do splits like Coco.
HYDRATE!!! Stop drinking bullshit drinks like Red Bull & soda, especially you bitches who drink Red Bull & vodka....it's HORRIBLE for you. WATER, JUICE & the occasional Gatorade. I have one if I can really feel that I'm dehydrated. I like the low cal versions & I limit myself to one.
A great source for fitness tips, Felicia Romero, also reminded me to observe your potassium intake. Even if you haven't ended up throwing your back out, if your muscles are really burning after a heavy workout, take control of the lactic acid with a banana.
Bitches, be careful when you exercise. This is NOT an excuse to not get out there and get moving. Be smart when your taking care of your body...everything in moderation.
Xoxo,
FitBitch
PS: I'm going to include a low-impact workout in today's next post.
