My countdown clock changed again! I decided to go to the OCB website to look at the venue for my competition and I noticed that the date was changed to September 13. I thought it was my mistake but when I looked on the Oxygen website they had the old date posted, which explained it all. I am not disappointed because it will give me an opportunity to visit Toronto in August and most of all it will give me an opportunity to train longer with Tony and take 1st place!
I usually workout in the evenings after work. I am not a morning person and cannot workout (particularly lifting weights) first thing in the morning. I find that my energy level is greater in the afternoon/evening therefore, years ago when everyone was jumping on the "morning workout is best" bandwagon I resisted and thought that was a bunch of crap!
Since I cannot seem to fit all in the day to go to bed early and my goal is to get more sleep, a few evenings after work I've been taking naps (only 10-20 minutes) before going to the gym. It's weird but my naps have helped and I find that I am a bit stronger (I am hoping it's not my imagination).
So the question is when is the best time to workout? I would have to say is when you feel like it is best for you. Some people like getting it out of the way and prefer to workout in the morning. If I had to workout in the morning consistently, I probably would never workout (maybe cardio but not lifting, my muscles take a long time to wake up). I was so happy that when I found Tony he didn't tell me that I have to workout in the morning.
On another note, last night at the gym I heard a guy say..."fat weighs more than muscle". I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would think that 1 pound of fat would weigh more than 1 pound of muscle??? A pound is a pound for heaven's sake, and this guy was going someone advice.
