It's all about consistency! You don't have to burn out. Don't try to do it all at once! Give yourself permission to make sets and do sets and enjoy having energy for a change!
If you can't sit still, then sure, do an extra set! But keep doing them in sets so when you are satisfied, you can enjoy the rest of your day and not feel like you emptied your tank.
This ia great advice
I purposely regulate them highs for this reason. Yes, I love being wound up and joyful, but I know in four hours I'll be dead on the floor if I dont regulate the high.
My experience has also been that it's harder to start doing it this way (because ADHD), but once it's the habit, it's much, much easier to keep doing it this way.
I should have written "try to" do this. Like anything, Its all practice.
Very true. It's not about the days you don't, it's about the days you do.
