⚠️TRUE STORY⚠️

ADL - Activities of Daily Living.

Picking up odd objects and carrying them in different ways is a part of every day life.

Did you know you can introduce this into your workout to?

[Cj M Swaby @CjMSwaby]

Rebuilding the foundations by going back to basics, which for me "IRON MIKE" Kettlebell workout is a staple.

Try it!👌🏽

It's easy to forget about your own wants, needs and your own state of being...

Getting caught up in the demands of your day to day, your relationships, your career.

It's important for your own wellbeing, to take time to reconnect to yourself daily.

This fundamental truth is often overlooked..

Our body was designed to move in different directions, on different levels.

It loves movement - it's essentially why we have joints!

Just move.

The Exhaustion Stage.

Not a good place to be. During this phase the stress has been bee persistent for too long, and we have not cultivated the right environment for our body to recover.

If you want to discover how to turn is around get in touch.

The WTF! moment has now passed. The body initially becomes weaker, as it gets to work repairing, and fortifying itself.

At this stage you will see a slight depression in performance.

This is natural.

The duration of this depression is dependent on your ability to recover.

⚠️TRUE STORY⚠️

Deadlifts. Set 3 of 4 @ 220kg followed by accessory work.

Slowly building back my foundation.👌🏽

⚠️TRUE STORY⚠️

#1 The Alarm Stage

This is where your body is experiencing a WTF?! moment.

The body labels the stressor as a threat or danger to disrupt balance (homeostasis).

⚠️TRUE STORY⚠️

starting to put some respectable weight up. Set 3 of 3 @ 220kg. Knee feeling ok on the leg drive 👌🏽

[Cj M Swaby @CjMSwaby]

A 3 stage response the body has to stress.

A powerful principle identified back in 1936 by Hans Selye, that many still fail to understand.

#1 The Alarm Stage
#2 The Resistance Stage
#3 The Exhaustion Stage

I'll be talking about this more in the coming days.

⚠️TRUE STORY⚠️

Knee rehab with a difference.

Gradually introducing elements of chaos into my routine to test and strengthen stability.
