Exertion headache
I got another headache last night ten minutes into Shoulders & Arms. I had to stop. The pain is intense, and pretty scary. They're called exertion headaches, and are pretty common apparently. So I'm going to ditch my workouts until I get back from Hawaii in three or so weeks. instead, I'm really going to concentrate on my food, eat as well as I possibly can. I'm going to walk a lot, and do lots of stretching and Yoga. ARX, too. No crazy cardio, no weights. Obviously my head is telling me to slow down, take it easy. I can only put it down to too much stress. I've been so busy at work for the last few weeks, and at home I haven't had much time to just chill, so that's what I'm going to do.

Good idea, man. Rest is just as important as the workouts and getting injured will lay you out far longer than if you just took a rest, recuperated and got back to it when you are fresher. Hope you have an awesome time in Hawaii (ps I hope you like Japanese tourists because you'll see a tonne of them there [at least I did when I went last time!])
