Do you feel tired and sluggish after working behind a desk all day or maybe sitting in your car during a long drive home from work?  Well……. Yes.  Of coarse you do.  Sitting for an extended period of time without any major movement slows down your bodies metabolism and causes your muscles to relax.  Now when you get home and want to work out your body is so tight and lethargic that you either talk yourself out of working out, or you have a really bad workout.

The best way to get over this hump is to run before you lift weights.  Running will gradually get your blood flowing again and it will stretch out your muscles.  This will act as a wake up call for your body.  Now that your body is alive again, you will be able to perform a quality work out.  I have been using this method for the past year and I have gained flexibility, reps and strength in all of my workouts.

Try this for a few weeks and see what you think.  I guarantee you will like it.
