Seriously overslept this morning. Don’t know why I felt so tired. Even before finally waking up almost an hour later than I had to, I thought about sleeping a bit more. Maybe because of the chaotic week. As I woke up, eyes still couldn’t open. Came outside to the balcony to get some fresh air. Thought about what I could do for the 15 minutes I had before waking up my kid. Nothing? Some push-ups and leg raises… And probably that would’ve been what I did if not for this web-diary. I knew that I had to do burpees because my excuses here would simply sound like I’m lazy. So I did:
- 81 burpees, 7 minutes.
It’s even harder in my apartment because I’m trying to jump very gently so as not to wake up my family yet.
Nowadays, I’m listening to an exercise scientist on YouTube, and he’s changing my understanding of workouts a bit. I could probably say that I lost a bit of the anxiousness to go outside and train. I feel tired. Maybe I’m just looking for some outside help to get me back on track. He talked about systemic fatigue; it can easily come from training 6+ times a week for months. Maybe that’s it. But I can still see that I’m making some gains in terms of repetitions or weight. Anyway, it might be time for some changes.
