I went to the gym yesterday, can hardly move today, lol

Yesterday, the gym, I was off to get fit, I was going to shed all this weight, And run and do arms, enjoy every bit, And I wouldn’t leave any complaint, So, I began on the mill, worked up a sweat, I quickly lost all of my breath, I thought “It’s only a walk, just like outside, Maybe I’m out of my depth.” Well, I left this machine, and went to the weights, A small load I needed to lift, And sat at the curl bench, with towel by my side, And started lifting without any assist, I stayed for an hour, it felt really good, And last night it felt good in my head, But today, when I woke, I couldn’t move a thing, Today I’m staying in bed.

Lol. I found a new herb called Boswellia it’s great for inflammation in joints and muscles. Drink a lot of water. Good luck
