My boyfriend has a sore shoulder. He bought some new weights from Amazon but they turned out to be too much too soon for him. He overexerted himself and now cannot lift weights for at least a month while his injury heals.
The concept of overexertion is all too familiar to us NQTs; we constantly run the risk of taking on too much and burning out.
There are always so many activities to be involved with that essential teacher jobs such as planning and marking can struggle to get a look in. I have started to wonder if there will ever come an evening when I stop working before 11pm at night.
