We are beginning week seven. You are starting to feel like you are getting into shape. We will be increasing the repetitions for a couple more weeks, and then, we will begin to fine-tune your training.
Make sure that you warm up well, take the time, stretch out the big muscle groups, listen to your body, know when you are pushing it, know that you are trying to manage racing stress, cool down gently.
