Last night was a mega workout! :)!
1000reps with 2 10kg bells. Although towards the end I only managed to do some exercises with 1 bell. I felt really accomplished,pleased with myself and shaky as I staggered down the stairs ;)
OBSESSED IS A WORD THE LAZY USE TO DESCRIBE THE DEDICATED
One of James quotes(although I am sure its not actually his), but it struck a cord with me. I don't think I am obsessed(well maybe a little) but more determint to do all the reps. You need a strong mind set to push through. Not past the point were you loose form and maybe injure yourself, but past that little devil that wants you to give up and take a breather.
I did a bit more research on iron levels and ferritin. Ferritin is a protein that binds iron and helps to store iron in the body. I was a bit buffled as my haemoglobin levels are fine. In a way I thought it was the same. Plenty of haemoglobin= plenty of iron. Not so.
But by strength training, using extra protein (EAAs)(hemp protein is perfect), good nutrition all round and taking iron supplement I can help my body to restore these levels.
Today is one of my rest days and I do need it!!!!
So apart from picking my car up, walking the dogs and doing the weekly shop....there isn't really much on the agenda. Looking forward to curl up infront of the roaring woodburner.
Happy Days - Life is good
