I'm looking at all The Giant/Kettlebell Muscle/More Kettlebell Muscle/Kettlebell Burn participants.
Are you taking the days off and following the program as written? Or.....Not following the program and adding things on your off days?
Come to the confessional booth....
As I stated, I'm doing the Wolf as written. And day 3 in week 4 was such a nasty 8 minutes and 30 seconds, when I finished, I gasped to myself, "I can't wait to take the next two days off." And that's what I've done. Yesterday, nada, nil and my legs were still fatigued climbing stairs. Today 30 minutes of slow flow yoga to stretch and an hour walk, with the dog. Week 5 starts tomorrow.
Here's my advice to those who want to throw in some BJJ the other 3 days, or something else, DON'T. Active recovery is great, but don't add. After 2 weeks, you'll really enjoy your off-days and will be like a caged animal on your workout days. I slept 9 hours and 20 minutes last night.
The Minimum Effective Dose can be a beautiful thing. If you're running the Long Haul. You HAVE to take the 4 days off. Especially as the program escalates. 150 seconds of a complex is a LONG time.
