Is there any combating old man soreness as you approach 40? I legit feel like I have the flu about half of the week due to muscle soreness.
I find the soreness goes away pretty much completely if I take about a week off from exercising. But it's replaced by a feeling of shame, the perception of being doughy, and then I also don't sleep nearly as well.
My warm-up is a lot more important than it used to be. I miss being able to pretty much just jump into a workout, but taking 10 minutes to get my heart rate up a bit and stretch out a little bit has been helpful in terms of feeling like I am always going to fall apart.
You've mentioned yoga a bunch of times... I'm thinking I want to get back into that. Used to do it Saturday mornings. Might reinstitute, if I can figure out a decent way to do it at home (vs. with a group of women wearing yoga pants).
