My Muscles are Aching

Ok, not a good title to start off with, but that is seriously how I am feeling now. Geez... I have been going to gym for the last 3 days. Ok, a bit of a long story here so please bear with it.

Using the newspaper article as a reference, my team is developing a system to measure some vital statistics for human movement. We are working with the Biomechanics lab in NIE as they got more proper equipment to do the testing. The NIE side are currently conducting some drop test experiment and Kwang Yong, Dong Wei and I volunteer to be the test subjects. We did the drop jump 2 weeks back and the results were recorded. After the jump, we are to go for an intervention training to train our leg muscles for the next 6 weeks before conducting another jump.

The training is conducted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 3 types of leg exercises are performed, the Leg Curl, Leg Extenstion and Leg Press. The load of the training is 80% of the maximum weight that we can take and that is really heavy I can say.

We started off the training starting this Monday, today is the 2nd session and I can feel the muscles in my legs aching. To make it worse, I have not been exercising since one month back when I caught the flu bug. Although my nose is still a bit of leaky, I still head to the NTU Alumni Club gym last night to sweat it out. I felt that my stamina had drop quite a bit, time to resume training again.

So after 3 days of continuous exercises, I just don't feel like moving my legs anymore. Hope that it will recover before Friday before the next session. 5 more weeks of training to go. Geez...
