Muscle spasm!!

After my pilates session I decided to work my abs a little bit more!

My favorite ab exercise is pretty much a chin up. I do a chin up and stay up, then I bring my legs up 5 times, before I slowly lower myself down. There is NO OTHER exercise that gets my abs that much!

I lowered myself down one last time.. Walked a few steps.. And suddenly: MUSCLE SPASM!! My neck was cramping like crazy!
I had no idea what to do!
I am so glad that John, the gym manager, was there. He's a massage therapist plus pretty much everything... And he gave me a 30 min free massage :) Painful at first, but okay afterwards.

I think I was tensing my neck muscles when I did the chin ups and the lowering, and they just couldn't take all that pressure. Ofcourse they could't.. Need to focus on keeping my neck relaxed next time :)
