Back to business
And so it begins all again, after about a week off I had my first session back at the gym, and I felt damn good. I think the week off training did my body and mind a world of good. Niggling injuries seemed to heal and my body felt refreshed and strong. I think one of the most important things when traveling abroad is to get adequate rest and recovery time. We are thrusting our bodies in a different environment, with climates and diets we are not used to and it will take time to adjust. Too many times have I seen gung ho farang (westerners) who burn themselves out in the first week of training simply cause they thought they could jump right into it. Best piece of advice I was given, and will continue to give to others is to take it easy at the start.
