So all good things must come to an end and so must this, my time with the Guinea Pig Training Program. Hubby and I have decided to finish a week early. This week will be week fifteen of sixteen and we won’t be completing the last week.
We’ve both been training solidly now for four months straight and we’re feeling that it’s time for a little break. Now normally, I don’t train for that long a period without taking a break but everything was travelling along well and I really didn’t feel the need. Until now, that is. So it’s important that we listen to our bodies and it’s needs. I guess you could say that I’m being more intuitive and letting my body dictate how long a period I want to train.
We’re taking a week off from our training and work for that matter. I’ve flown hubby’s parents down to spend some time with him and we’re going to spend our time with them.
We’ve both thoroughly enjoyed the program. The things that we’ve noticed and seen improvements in are:
★ Continued improvement in strength
★ Greater range of movement
★ Increased flexibility
★ Injury and ailment decreased
A lot was gained from a functional strength training program. More than I’d expected, so I was pleasantly surprised along the way on a number of different occasions. Once the experiment is completed I’ll be able to talk more publicly about it but until then it’s still cloak and dagger stuff.
I attempted to pick up my Vibram® FiveFingers® last week but unfortunately the store was closed. So back I’ll go this week. I already have a plan for the next training program. I’ve got half of it prepared and organised. The rest is still being worked on but I’ll post about that in a fornight’s time.
As I keep saying, if I want different I have to be prepared to do different.
