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.
