When you are tired, how do you know when you need to continue your daily practices or if you should take a day off? Is your resting heart rate a good guide? This was not an issue when we were younger! :rolleyes:

Listen to your body!
Pain is a sign od something going on. Don't work through too much pain. Take time to get to know your body, and it will tell you whether you can push a little bit more, or if you are pushing past the treshold into an injury or some other more serious problem.
In my case, I most often vary the intensity of my workouts... Swimming close to 3000 daily, but once, or twice a week doing just an EZ-1000. Lickily, in our pool there is at least one or two days a week that are not very busy, so I can take up a lane offf to the side and stretch float, bob and do easy stroke drills while others are doing a full workout.
I don't like getting stiff on the days of, besided, I would *gasp* have to miss a day at the pool! :eek: I wouldn't know what to do with myself! :eek:
I know, I'm hooked. ;)
