Have you ever had that pain from returning to the gym after having a big break from a regular workout? I’m feeling it right now.

It’s taken me a long time to get a proper gym workout. Indian bureaucracy meant I only received a membership pass for the gym in Bangalore just before I left for Pune (five weeks!). The “closest” gym in Pune wasn’t that close and very expensive for a month (no surprises there since it is a Gold’s Gym). I also would not have had any time during training to fit it in.

Today I’m very sore from yesterday’s workout, but at least it’s a healthy type of soreness that I’m sure I’ll experience again when I return to the UK.
