P90X, Day 23 — Rest Day

Well, I had to take an unex­pected rest day today. I pulled a mus­cle in my lower back yes­ter­day late in the day. When I woke up this morn­ing it was still sore and tight. This goes back to what I’ve said a few times before, know the dif­fer­ence between the good kind of sore and the bad kind sore.

The pulled mus­cle wasn’t bad enough to keep me com­pletely off my feet, but it was bad enough that it was worth tak­ing the rest day. It was bad enough that my work­out would have suf­fered, it would have been a weak effort, and most impor­tantly, I could have risked a much worse injury if I went for­ward with Core Syn­er­gis­tics as planned. I’ll just read­just this weeks work­out rou­tines, keep a heat­ing pad on my back tonight, and pick up tomorrow.
