So today I had an interesting experience at the gym. After I finished my weight training session, I did cardio, as I usually would. As I was coming up on the 23 min mark of my stairs session, I felt like my body was over heating. I literally felt like my insides were shutting themselves off. I have NEVER felt this way before. It honestly felt like someone was stepping on my chest cavity and not allowing me to breathe properly. I did tone it down for the rest of my cardio session as I was practically sprinting on the stairs. I don't know if I was just over working my body, but once I noticed something was off I modified my workout to that.
It has honestly taken me sometime to realize that I need to listen to my body more. When I first started taking fitness seriously I made the mistake of not listening to my body, constantly. It caused me to be sore, hurt myself, and even want to quit altogether. I've come a long way from that!
