He needs proteins to repair the damage he’s done to his muscles. That’ll be an extra kebab.

That is the only kind of protein I would be wanting, thanks very much

Kind of how I am feeling right now to be honest.

Got lactic acid all over my body, and also feeling just exhausted.

Think I am going to go for a quick half hour spandex beginners aerobics class tonight to stetch off, then flake out in the sauna - spa for the rest of the evening.

Is that some new form of bukake?

[Wilmslow]

You’re obviously new and missed the background. Wilmslow, our resident Mr Fascinating, has a long history of problems which he has extensively documented on this here website. On Saturday he went to the gym and did a Les Mills session and a spinning session. On Monday he went again and did the same thing, and told us that his spinning instructor commented on his loss of form. I told him that two hard training sessions on consecutive days would not help him get fitter but would knacker him and leave him less fit than before, and his instructor would have told him this if he knew what he was doing. He didn’t take any notice and went off to a weights training session having only eaten one muesli bar. He is now a physical wreck and it serves him right.

Not quite.

Saturday - Pilates, Body Pump, Spin.
Sunday - Body Attack, Body Pump
Monday - Body Attack, Body Pump.

Yes, too much now I see things more clearly.........

Will take easy tonight and a gentle Pilates session tomorrow night!

Not surprised you're tired - you had Sunday twice!

Lactic acid isn’t the problem and isn’t the cause of burning muscles as was previously thought. What actually happens is that when ATP (adenosinetriphosphate) is broken down to ADP (adenosinediphosphate) in the muscles, not only is a phosphate group dropped from the molecule, but a hydrogen ion is released; the hydrogen ions lower the pH of the blood causing acidosis, that burning pain after intense bursts of anaerobic exercise. The only solution is to drink plenty of fluids and have a rest.

Wilmslow if you done take a rest and do what Mitch TT has said - do nothing until next week - then you risk coming down with a cold or virus, and not being able to exercise for a good few weeks.

You are not 25 any more so it will take longer for your body to recover between heavy exercise sessions.

It's probably myoglobin rather than blood.

Mich - Thought you would like to know I am still alive.

Went for the gentle jog and spandex option, but, traffic was clear and I arrived just as a spin class was starting which is followed by the spandex class.

Could not resist – ended up doing a half hour spin class which I just breezed through – no effort at all. The aerobics class was just a nice gentle shake-up which I needed. Yes, stupid I know, but could not resist.

Really weird that spin now feels like an easy option.

Feeling a lot better today, so going to take a nice gentle pilates class tonight, then see how I am feeling for the circuit class on Thursday.

Think it is just muscle fatigue from doing body pump immediately after body attack. Never again.
