Everyday Systems

Hi there-

I've really been struggling to build up to the recommended 5 day ina row SG work out. I've been managing 3-4 times a week (I don't take off Sat/Sun as I have more time to exercise on the weekends).

I am fatiguing so fast that it seems sort of not worth doing it every day. Also I wondered from my gym days, aren't I supposed to let the muscles rest a day?

I finally weighed the hammer I dug out of our shed last month - it weighs 15 pounds! Each session I go the full 14 minutes. This week I incorporated hula hooping while I recovered between sets just so I'm not standing about aimlessly.

Is it reasonable to go every other day due to the weight of the hammer or do I buy a lighter hammer?

Thanks! Colleen

Hi Colleen,

It's very reasonable -- do what works best for you.

The "N day" schedule is mostly for excuse proofing your routine, it's not for any profound physiological reason (though I don't think, if you pace yourself, there's any profound physiological reason not to do it).

Best of luck and keep us posted,

Reinhard
