I have been getting back into my work outs in fits & spurts so I re-examined my approach and mentality as I always do with all areas of my life to find the reason for the inconsistent effort.<\/p>\n

Well one of the largest issues but not the only issue for sure is that I haven’t been keeping true to my extensive stretching routines as I used to! I started sliding off of my stretching in part because my body doesn’t feel as beat up after a run like it did before I started running in the VFF’s (Vibram Five Fingers). Since my back and legs weren’t beat up I wasn’t as dedicated to my stretching especially after the runs and actually before the runs the stretching activities were half assed!<\/p>\n

Well I am back into my stretching routine where I stretch without taking shortcuts before the run]workout after the workout and prior to going to bed whether I worked out or not. Today this was very important since I had a hard gym workout last night along with a nice stroll on the treadmill after hitting the weights & abs.<\/p>\n

Besides the stretching I need to be more dedicated to hitting push ups, leg raises, crunches & trunk twists after my runs. My runs are plodding right now when I do back to backs but I feel the body ready to move forward to shed weight and firm up. Man I have been through this enough times I shouldn’t let myself get in this shape anymore.<\/p>\n

One of the things I read that made me re-examine is this article from Active.com which helped me realize I wasn’t doing my all:
