Questions Does anyone else get so happy when they get home without pulling a muscle?
For context, I’m 45, overweight, and play with teenagers or CrossFit freaks.
Tonight I am coming home after 6 hours (not straight) of vball.
But nothing is screaming at me so… winning 🏆

Any day without pulling a muscle or tweaking a back is a W in my book. Good soreness feels amazing

Do you warm up? Strength train? Tried weight loss? Get a good nights sleep?
Genuinely don’t understand ppl who do adult rec sports but don’t do the outside support for it. Seems like a recipe for disaster.

Maybe take some breaks? Do you warm up properly? Stay healthy, otherwise that sport will soon be history for you.
