I definitely slept 10 hours last night. I had a very active dream night at least from what I can remember. A nightmare and just lots of dreams that I remember bits and pieces of, more than usual.
I’m planning to do only 5 mins of each title tomorrow. So as to keep the recon potential low.
I’ve also started doing my mobility workout early in the day and I do any strength/conditioning in the evenings. Luckily, I have the time to do that and I think it definitely helps me in that I don’t skip workouts anymore. Instead of one long workout, 2 shorter workouts just works better for me. I also stopped working out on my toughest days of work, and that’s been great as well. I don’t feel worn out like I used to.
I’m definitely feeling like a desire to get into action more building in me. So the easy workout in the first half of the day just helps me tap into that and I can still take care of anything else I have to during the day before I go to work.
I also decided to do 30 days of no release, and no caffeine. So far it’s been easy.
Afternoon update:
I slept 10 hours easy last night. Feel like a nap now. I increased reps and weights on all my exercises this last week. So that was a plus. But now I’m reminded of the other side of the equation. The body needs to recover and adjust. I’m not really sore but just craving extra sleep. So I guess I haven’t found the balance yet there. I can get those quick improvements but then I may end up needing more rest until I adjust.
So I kinda see the value in periods where you’re just maintaining instead of going for increases. Sometimes yea, you do want to increase but other times it might be best to just maintain. So that might be some of CWON providing insight, probably a contributor for sure.
I just did my core work. My legs were shaking and so I decided to do 10 mins of Trauma Release Exercises. Just the finishing one where you lay on your back and you put the bottoms of your feet together. You raise your knees a little and your body will start shaking. The intro video shows examples of animals in the wild who shake off their trauma, they say it’s just a natural thing they do. I used to do it regularly but haven’t for a couple years. It just dropped back into my life. A CWON gain I’m sure.
I also followed up with some Code of The Natural movements. It was a program where you do like these active stretching type exercises and it’s supposed to free up your movement, your walking into more of a primal, natural type of walk that is supposed to even make you more attractive. Just by freeing up those limitations in our bodies from modern life. So I guess that’s back in my daily routine now too. It can take 5-10 mins and so it’ll be easy to incorporate in my day.
I used to do one long workout and lay around and lounge the rest of the day. Until work. Then I found two shorter work outs works better. One in AM and one in PM.
I definitely feel way better in my body after that. So CWON is already giving me nice surprised with my physical. I wasn’t necessarily expecting that I was more expecting positivity and getting more of that positive reaction from others.
So if anything LOS isn’t so attractive for me anymore. Although it is for those physical changes. I’m more interested in a potential combo of CWON and Primal. I think that would be amazing. I think it would fit me better than my SI/Spartan custom that I spent 8 months on. But I’m sure if I use that again I’d get way more benefit after CWON.
So far I’m liking CWON better than LBFH but LBFH probably helped as well, just not as much on the physical part.
