Aches and Pains of Age?

 The past couple of weeks have been slower. Slower moving, slower moves. I pulled a muscle in my lower back/top buttock region. It’s been slow to recover. I’m still stiff in the morning, and through the day it loosens up. Stretching has been a constant, and hopefully it settles soon. 

We were doing punches on the heavy bag, which caused skinned knuckles and sore hands. And then a bump with a dragon pole caused soreness and some bruising. It’s been a week! 

The lessons from these aches and pains? 1. Always warm up and stretch before repetative workouts. 2. Grab my gloves/hand wraps before hitting the heavy bag. 3. Most importantly, I was definately shown areas of needed work and more practice! Recovery is slower as we age, and I need to remember I’m not a young spring chicken any longer!

Sit ups suffered this week due to the sore back, but pushed for a few slower ones.
