It will be my first day back to the gym today after a three week break. The first week I was off on leave and the second and third was because I pulled my back. The fact that I was out of action for two weeks tells me my core muscles are weak so I really need to get back in the gym for sure. I am really looking forward to it but I am finding it hard to find the line between building muscle and just fat burning. I build muscle so easily because I don’t do the gym half heartedly. I set myself goals so as to get as much out of it as possible but I just seem to end up putting weight on.
I heard someone say on TV the other day that the best way to burn fat was to run, well that is not really an option for me as I had knee surgery and the constant pounding does nothing for my knees. I also have osteoarthritis in my operated knee which actually does not cause me as much grief as you would expect had it not been for me going to the gym to build the muscle around the knee. So really pain wise I am quite lucky but at the same time I do not want to aggravate it.
Well I think I will spend the week experimenting and seeing how I go with the weight loss and gain and see what I am doing right or wrong.
