Bodybuilding Forum / General Discussion / Help!! Need guidance!!
Posted by: CazJ, May 18, 2007, 1:30am
I last competed in October, and intended to take a couple of months off to recover from all the hard work and training. Since then i've had injuries, and been generally under the weather. I then got pregnant, but just recently have miscarried. I'm now a bit wobbily!!!
I desperately wanna get back into shape, but just feel bewildered and a bit lost, as to where i start from again ??)
I prob need a good kick up the backside!!! but would settle for some kind guidance!!!
Cheers guys x

Hi,
you have obviously been in very good shape in the past and know your stuff about traing,diet etc.
My advice would be to start off slowly, do not go at it like a bull at a gate. Do some c.v., moderate, and some weights, again moderate. Build the intensity up as you feel yourself getting fitter and stronger. Because you have been down this route before your body has, what I believe, is "muscle memory". I have had lay offs, and come back more quickly than if I had not trained at all.
Your state of mind needs to be good too, what I mean by that is you want to have to want to do it.
The mind set is such a strong thing. I visualise my workouts before I do them, how its going to feel, what effort I am going to have to put in, how the muscle will feel when its full of blood.
If you have your head right for this then you WILL do it.
If you need specifics then ask, but I suspect you know what to do, you just need reassurance.
If you want to post your anticipated training routine and diet there are a few qualified people on this site that I am sure will give you further advice.
Good luck on the comeback trail !
Reaper.
