I have had kettle bells for a few years now and have swing them in and off but never consistently stuck to a program. My challenge has been my caotic schedule, lack of time and energy etc.
I have a business where my schedule is up and down and I often work long hours and I am often required, out of necessity to get jobs done by deadlines, to leave for work at 3am and not get home till the evening. My jobs is physically demanding with repeatitive fast pace physical labor which isn't hard but the repetitiveness and pace of work for King hours makes it taxing in the body (shoulders and back).
I have 5 young kids as well which adds to the demands, coaching 2 of their sports teams in the evenings, games on weekends etc.
I have been keeokeeokeeng this pace for several years and have gotten quite out of shape and packed on the weight to 230 lbs at only 5' 7". Not getting consistent good sleep due to demands along with my he tic schedule of responsibilities often leaves me feeling exhuasted.
I am working to make changes in my ability to manage my responsibilities and trying to make sure I get more consistaco rest and better diet and I am all set to start the S&S program and am serious about doing so (have already started).
I was looking as some of Paul Chek's material for tips on restoring health and he advocates not doing any serious working out until you restore certain aspects of your health. He says that to go for serious working out (like weights or Hit etc.) will only out more stress on your body when it is in poor health and can lead to worse health problems.
My question is, is this true? Should this be something I should be concerned about? I am seeking to change my diet and make sure I get better sleep etc. But should I wait to start S&S until I restore some aspects of health like not being in an exhuastive state of health?
He advicates what he calls "working in" which are forms of exercise that are not taxing on your body and stressful such as walking which can actually help clear stress but still give your body needed movement.
I desperately need to restore my health just so I can function and have energy left over for my wife and kids. At times I feel pathetic because I have no energy to give to my family outside of my responsibilities and I feel like an old man even though I am only 45. I shouldn't feel this way and want things to change. My goal is health and vitality and a#@ kicking as a side bennefit.
Thanks for your input.
