Month of a Million Strikes: Time to not wreck my knees

Month of a Million Strikes: Time to not wreck my knees

9/5/15

You know, I was really excited about this goal. And don't get me wrong, it's potentially doable, and potentially doable by me right now.

The problem, is that quite simply it's putting way too much strain on my knees. I'm not a small guy, at 255 lbs as fun as it is doing thousands of sword strikes per day, I've noted flexibility loss in my lower back/knees in the past week. 

As you might imagine, flexibility loss is bad. Very, very bad. 

So, before I wreck body parts permenantly that most people would assume have nothing to do with being good at swinging a sword,

Namely my knees, and my lower back.

I'm gonna call this challenge to a close. adding in the 2,000 strikes I did yesterday.

to the 88,000 I did the week before, I made it 90,000 strikes into my challenge.

If I factor in the 70,000 strikes I did the prior week, that's 160,000 strikes in two weeks. 

A good time. Impressive even if it wasn't the goal I was aiming for.

Now if you'll excuse me, It's time to let my body recover. 

And time to do some Yoga
