The factory has informed me that my kettlebells will be done next week and then they will ship them. Won't be long now! Over 100 kettlebells on their way to Taiwan.
In other news, Cindy and tons of kettlebell work tore me up this week. I had three heavy kettlebell workouts this week plus doing Cindy on Tuesday. Hard week for sure. But I'm growing, boy am I growing. I'm also trying to add a second session of cardio in the morning, every morning. Haven't set that up fully yet.
The problem is SAID -- specific adaptation to implied demands. In other words, no matter what you throw at your body, you'll adapt to it eventually. I hit a small plateau with my training and had to kick start with by tweaking my program, both in terms of exercise and nutrition. But I'm back on track now.
Here's another acronym that is important to the discussion -- EPOC, excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. The idea is a bit complex but it basically means burning extra calories AFTER you finish exercise. According the NASM protocols I'm getting certified in, the best way to take advantage of EPOC is working out twice a day. Hence the extra cardio. Plus it's easier for me to do two shorter one-hour sessions and maintain energy levels rather than one two-hour session. Try it out if you want to maximize calorie burn.
