Thinking about the use of strength. sat here in the studio with strong, beginning of period period pains, shoulders and body achey from this morning's training. I'm interested in how necessary that feeling, physical tiredness and muscular ache, equals redemptive qualities, a box to tick that allows the mind to calm and clear, and focus on other stuff.

Given that this is true, as I used to spend significantly more time lifting weights and kettlebell training (as I competed in kettlebell sport) than I do now.
