Individualized Training Approach
A methodical approach to kettlebell training emphasizes the importance of individual readiness assessments, taking into account factors like stress, recovery, and gut health. Many people, especially women going through menopause, often react to weight gain by increasing their exercise intensity, which can lead to burnout. Instead, focusing inward and adjusting training based on personal needs can lead to better outcomes and overall well-being.In this clip

I suspect that I'm overtrained. I've been doing heavy weights at low reps with long rest times for pretty much the whole year. I've taken a few different weeks off here and there, but I feel tired all the time and have a low libido. I was thinking about taking a four-week break away from weightlifting. For Weeks 1 and 2, I thought about doing a 30-minute walk on the treadmill and a 10-minute stretch or foam roll. Then, in Weeks 3 and 4, I would continue with the walks but start a 3-day band routine. After Week 4, I would slowly go back into my weightlifting routine. Is this a solid plan? I'm also eating in a deficit but keeping my protein around 180 to 200 grams. I weigh 230 pounds, and my target weight is 180 pounds.
