Headache Breaker
Today’s kettlebell practice did more than make me stronger. I have had a headache for almost two days, and nothing has helped. Sleeping made it better, but after being awake for a few hours, the headache was back in full force.
I took yesterday off from exercise, and wasn’t sure if I would work out today or not. In the past, the endorphin rush from the workout has helped with headaches, so I tried it.
A few minutes into it, I could tell I had made the right decision. Everything felt good. I felt strong. The headache was gone. All in all I did about 25 minutes of swings and TGUs then followed up with 10 minutes of snatch practice.
ACSM has a program called Exercise is Medicine. They are on to something. Today’s dose was wonderful.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Headaches are the worst. I’m afraid I’m a pain wimp and tend to resort to aspirin, but if I follow the aspirin with exercise I think maybe it gets the pain reliever into my system a little more quickly.
