Last fall I decided to transition from exercising for general fitness, into training as a professional athlete. Kettlebell sport is a Russian sport that requires a feat of strength and endurance. Actually, after seeing the training schedule, it took me three months to get the nerve to begin.
I soon found training at 50 was no easy task. In fact, the training was crushing me. I had to reduce my workouts by 2/3 and it soon became clear that I was in need of nutrient dense foods to come to the rescue. Specifically, I needed to increase my flexibility, protect my joints, and recover from intense training.
