Help me decide: Go to the gym today, or not?
Pro: I have the time, I have the gear with me, I want to get back on track.
Con: Muscles still sore from Saturday's exercises, can barely get out of my chair without pushing off with my hands, there is much wincing, even walking is painful.
Next planned gym-day is Thursday.
Go, or not?
ETA: Thank you all for your advice. I took a one-hour walk on Tuesday evening, had a hot shower with spicy chocolate shower gel, and spent the rest of the evening on the sofa with a pot of tea and my cats, who were happy to have a warm human to sprawl on. Wednesday, I could get out of my chair with barely any pain, and today I was back at the gym and there was actual progress.
