Ok, this is my first post here. My question is between being heavily involved in church, spending time with my wife, taking care of 4 kids under 5, and running a business, I just don't have time to be consistent with a program, or to fit everything in I want to achieve.
My goals in order of priority are Long term health and function, physical endurance and functional strength. I love super joints and do all the exercises recommended by Pavel in the first half of the book and a few from the second half everyday and it has really helped me in the way I feel so I don't want to stop them. I was doing ETK PM but I have trouble staying consistent as the only time I have to do it is in the mornings when no one is up to disturb me (try swinging a 55lb piece of iron in the air with 3 toddlers and a baby running around). Plus at night I either like to stretch or use a foam role as I have a physical job and am pretty wore out at the end of the day. I really don't want to have a workout hanging over my head for me when I get home from a long hard physical day. With my business I often have to leave early in the morning, so I don't always have time to do a workout and the joint complex before I have to get out the door.
I started walking in the morning before the joint complex so I could combine that with my prayer time. This way I am at least getting some exercise in consistently. I love this because I would already be spending that time in prayer anyway and this way I can exercise without devoting any extra time to it. I thought about adding in NW during the day but I want to do a major pull, plus I want to be improving on my cardio health and I love using the KB. I love the GTG idea because it is a similar concept of not having to really focus much extra time on it and I can bend it around my schedule.
My question in short is instead of NW can I GTG with the Kettle bell and maybe on Saturday, when I don't have to go to work, get in a full KB workout. Or maybe so the NW during the week and a full KB workout on Sat. My thinking is that a GTG program would continue to add strength during the week and I could at least get in a good cardio set one day a week. I would continue to walk everyday and do the joint complex for long term health.
Please keep in mind I am not trying to be lazy or wanting something for nothing. It's just that I really need to focus on my business right now and church and my family come first before the gym. However I need to be healthy and I enjoy the feeling from strength training. Thanks.
