Day 6: Rest & Recover, Maybe

As a part of Day 6, I'm at least taking a break from an early morning workout.  I may do one later in the day or this evening. Or perhaps I'll just do nothing and totally rest.

Yesterday's diet hit a snag during part of the day.  My lunch wasn't exactly a healthy choice, but that's to be expected when your ideal plan changes unexpectedly.

I ate quite a bit less in the evening to try and balance my overindulgence at lunch.

Today should be easier to plan and balance my diets out. 

Overall this week, the workouts have been going very well.  The Achievable Body's workouts have lined up well with my times I have available to do them, plus the kettlebell clean routine that I'm doing on days in-between is really finding a good groove. 

When deciding on what to do with a kettlebell routine, I had a choice between KB swings or cleans to try with my heaviest kettlebell.  I thought of doing just Swings alone as the workout, but I opted for cleans because of the upper body being used more in it, and my core being called upon throughout the exercise itself.  You have to produce the force to drive it up, and also absorb the catch of it in the rack position up top. I know snatches are perhaps the most demanding, but I wouldn't be using my heaviest kettlebell for that exercise with multiple reps. I feel the cleans will develop some great endurance so I'll be able to handle snatches with the 53# one down the road this year.

For a quick read about my kettlebell routines I've done as 30 day challenges, check out my progress from my Kindle guides I've written about those challenges at http://tinyurl.com/rkofp

"Just Swing It!" is my most popular and best-selling Kindle guide of all time.

A 30 day challenge is also something that can blend in well with the 24 Day Challenge from AdvoCare.  If you have thought of the 24DC and want to take the action to get started on it, go here to choose your options and start the 24DC very soon!
