It's very difficult for my body to recover after workouts now that I'm older, so we have to keep them short, which means they're extremely difficult and intense. It sucks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can only work out for so long before I start to really feel the effects.
I can feel my body is starting to get tired, all that training, which I've been doing three or four times a week since I was eight, and recovery is taking longer.
It's crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.
I was just used to being in shape, and getting out of it was really difficult for me.
I think I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll - I get back pain!
I freak out if I go a little too long without being in the gym. For a long time it was all about getting the weight off because I was 240 pounds at my heaviest, and now I'm around 175, so the majority of that weight loss was due to diet and exercise.
This last year I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that, and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up.
I once didn't work out for six weeks. It took me for ever to get the weight off.
I still work out on a daily basis.
I think recovery is around the clock. Are you sleeping enough? Are you hydrating enough? Are you stretching? Are you eating well? Pretty much everything that I do is a reflection of how I'm going to feel on the field. I take great pride in getting in an ice bath after training and just taking care of myself.
