[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77641955, member: 330042"] Body Battery wasn't so great today. It barely went up and sleep quality was poor. Sometimes you can weigh the scales in your favor with recovery, but it doesn't always work out. I suspect the exercise load was just too much yesterday, even though I spent less time in the gym- resistance training seems to induce a fatigue that can't be accounted for very well on smart watches or fitness trackers. Today I just did 15 minutes of using the Blade and doing club mills. I've learned the forward and reverse version of the Indian club mills now, so I have a complete workout. I used my plastic 1lb clubs, which actually feel somewhat heavier than my vintage clubs. The Body Blade type exercises can be fairly intense for somebody like me. However, the intensity is very manageable. It seems like the best way to use it is vibrating it in different positions and doing each position (in front of you, to the side with one hand, behind your back with both hands, etc.) as a set until you feel some burn. Then take a brief rest to let lactate clear, and go on to another set. You get a decent workout doing this that actually isn't too fatiguing the next day. I see this kind of thing as a fun exercise that would be great for somebody new to fitness, who wants something easily managed. All that's missing is a lower body focus, which I think could be made up for by doing some squats. [/QUOTE]
