This will probably sound crazy to most of you, but here goes:
I first picked up a KB 6 months ago. I'd never done strength training before. I swam regularly although I was off swimming for 3 months due to pool closure (which is how I got to kettlebells...)
62 yrs old, 80 kilos
Started on S&S after a month of just working on form with Deadlifts and the three warmups. 16kg bell. Didn't progress too far with GU'S due to some small functional constraints (iliopsoas weakness, and toe mobility that precluded moving to lunge).
Progressed to 24kg swings, 2 2H and 8 1H
That's the overall progress.
However, in the last 5 months I've had 4 bouts of some viral thing that knocked me out for several days to a week. The first two times, I didn't think much about it, but last month was the 3rd and that got me thinking. Yesterday I came down with a fever again...
Nothing in my daily routine has significantly changed- except for the kb training.
I know 0 about this kind of thing - I was wondering if my CNS was overtaxed and this is the result.
Anyone have any thoughts here?
