My love-hate relationship with Muscle Fever-My Actifit Report Card: November 16 2022

On Monday I posted on how excited I was finally going back to the road to jog and mix with a bit of sprinting at the end. I also claimed my endurance level was still good enough to keep me going to meet my 10k steps.

Well, I normally open my ActiFit App when I'm about to exercise so I get to record my most active steps. And then use a pedometer to see my overall steps. Well, I skipped yesterday and just took a walk today in the evening.

I released one thing my body can't get used to is Muscle Fever aka DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Oh dear my thighs are quite heavy right now and I hate to admit it but it's a nice feeling to have after a workout. Luckily I do not feel any soreness in my calves maybe because the exercise was more focused on the quads and abdomen. I sometimes run mentally focusing on these two to activate their muscle.

I am also feeling a bit of soreness on my "not visible Abs" lol but this is because I usually suck in and out my tummy while running which gives a bit of a vacuum effect to train the muscle to shrink and slowly helps to reduce some inches on the waist.

I think once you understand what works for you, there are some hacks you can do while just focusing on a walk and jogging or running but still manage to activate a group of muscles that would need strength training to achieve. I must say I love the feeling of muscle soreness but hate the process, especially since having to walk up the stairs today was a big task. I always opt for stairs over an elevator or escalator and that's when I feel my love-hate relationship with muscle fever.

Cheers to great week folks and thank you for stopping by!
