Started running and doing kettlebell workouts on days interchangeably about a week ago because I’m broke. I’m slowly upping the amount of distance I’m running and the length of my excercises.
I’ve been exhausted for about a week, but I feel so much more active and confident.
It’s good to start slow enough that you don’t feel tired after a workout if you’re a beginner, so you don’t burn out or injure yourself.
The ideal for me is when I finish a run and still feel like I could go on, that makes me look forward to the next run, but I always take at least a day off between runs. It’s good to also do strength exercises on those off days, as long as you don’t over do it.
I’ve found that increasing how speedily i perform my exercise has diminishing returns and only increases the odds of injuring oneself
but when i go through the motions slowly, it is then that I feel optimally exerted. 20 slow squats pay off better than 20 fast ones. or perhaps even 40.
the goal isn’t to feel pain, but to accomplish the work. And furthermore, if we injure ourselves, then we lose progress being unable to work out while convalescing.
(i mean, like, individual muscle fibers are going to tear and then be mended and make the muscle stronger over time but it’s gotta be moderated and also we never want to damage our ligaments, tendons, or cartilage)
