Alternative to rest?

Yucca · 12 May 2008 at 21:53

OK before i begin, i know i know, there is no substitute for a good night of sleep/rest bla bla bla. It was just a catchy title to get you to look MWAHAHAH

Ok so i relised iv put on about 2 stone in the last year and getting a bit plump. I normally combat this by dropping calorie intake by a bit and doing as many RPM classes as possible at the local gym.

Now my problem, my legs are aching and i cant work as hard as i want as i have done two classes in two days so far. I want to do another one tommorrow and the day after if possible. I get plenty of sleep (8-10 hours) and i eat well.

But i was hoping someone could give me some tips on what to do/eat etc tonight, tomorrow morning etc to maximise my recovery.

Thanks

In Dragon Ball Z they had a little Bean, they ate it and then it fully revitalised them. Maybe try and source some of these for all the energy you need.

I would have thought that exercising everyday / working out everyday is worse for you, rather then better.

Should have posted in the sports section

The noobs at the gym that teach the classes do about 3 a day so there must be a way.

if you're aching, have a hot bath, it helps enormously.
