This is my second attempt at this particular entry. The last entry that was posted was in August. I have had to sit back and evaluate a lot of different things in my business and my training. i refocused on the business and have been driving forward to increase my schools and my students. August through September are always super busy and I had to let some things hang on the sidelines for a little while. The blog was one of them.
I do not teach kettlebells or martial arts as a main business at this time. I continue to run a class and teach individually here and there, but Amazing Athletes is my main focus. I always make openings when I can for training people and will continue to do so. I enjoy teaching and helping others whenever I can.
My own training has been in flux also. I have played with lots of reps and sets and few reps and sets over the last few months. I find that I need to stay around the 5 x 5 program. It allows me to continue to train and improve around my business. I have days that i will run with children for up to 6 hours in a day. That much training takes a toll and pushes me towards burnout and over training really quickly, especially if I am working on Viking Warrior Conditioning and 80 sets of 8. I also like using heavy weights.
I have decided to really work on hitting the blog at least once or twice a week. I am expanding the range of topics from kettlebells and martial arts to includes children's health, politics etc. I guess we will see how it goes.
y workout over the last two weeks or so has been swings and Get Ups. It is hard to beat the basics. It is a four day a week program. Swings are 10 x 10 left and right hand on one day and 5 minutes of get ups on the other day.
The group workout was a tabata based program for 15 rounds. we hit swings, body weight squats, pushups and clean and press. While it was not a strict tabata due to the grinds, it was pretty intense. I worked along with everyone and was tired. I really enjoyed it as the group increases the energy level.
