Every good monkey knows that bananas are very magical....duh.... A blackbelt at our school (who received his blackbelt in Korea) often says "pain is your friend"! But then again, he also says "pushups are your friend" and "blood is your friend". I think one of these days he might just say "Eating brains is your friend!" Nah, he's a cool guy Some soreness is good, it lets you know that you've worked hard. However, pain is bad! You're working too hard. Good, long warmups and good long cool-downs are very important, as is proper nutrition, as mentioned before. However, working out, working hard 6 days a week is not good for your body. It needs a day or two to recover and regenerate the tissue damage you've done. Vitamin supplements can be good, talk to a doctor before you take them, though. People tend to overmedicate themselves on vitamins by reading books...they end up gulping, like, a pound of pills each meal. More pills than food, ya know? And of course, good long bubble baths or a massage from your honey (if you don't have one, moms work too) are always nice 1st dan & Asst.
