KETTLEBELLGUY

It’s really hard for me to write down these words but I think I have learned that I have done something I never thought possible. I have over trained.

I am feeling so much better now that I have changed my morning workouts to eliminate any overhead work and have given myself permission to only workout once a day.

With the intense Kettlebell classes I have been taking and trying to keep up my already heavy schedule I was finding that I was not able to move, had no energy for my workouts, was not sleeping and my flustration level was mounting day by day.

I want to prove each day that I am strong and growing but I have to learn that rest and moderation have to be part of the formula.

I had a nice workout this morning, being active for an hour and 15 minutes. Tomorrow morning I am going to do a very lite workout, just core work, my shoulder flyes, elbow exercises and a nice cardio and stretching. Hopefully this will help my have more energy for tomorrow nights KB class.

Here is what I did this morning.

WORKOUT 2

I worked my shoulder flyes into this circuit and followed up with elbow exercises and stretching.

One of the old guys at the gym, actually someone I consider a mentor, having worked for him some 35 years ago when I was but a child, and my advisor, since he is my lawyer offered to teach me his 22 minute stretching routine. He learned it years ago when the gym had a morning stretching class. Once spinning started at the gym they stopped the stretching class, but he has continued on by himself for many, many years. I am going to make a point within the next couple of days to get my schedule matched with his and have him teach me the routine.

I made a video about people that worry they will grow too much muscle if they go to the gym. All the comments I received on this agreed with me and thanked me for talking about this. The responses were interesting.
