Working Out VS Training

Have you ever heard a phrase you liked but never gave it much thought?

I saw a picture of a sign hanging in a gym. It was the rules of the gym, and #1 was “Train don’t Workout”.

I liked that but never gave it much thought, until yesterday. Currently I’m training under the tutelage of Ken Blackburn, with help from Donica Storino, both from the IKFF for the kettlebell championships in November {Click above banner for more info}, I’ll be doing the “Long Cycle” . So I decided to do my Wednesdays session in my garage, sure I knew it was hot, 112f, but I like that once and a while, nothing like gettine a good sweat going. Here’s where it dawned on me the difference between training and working out. The good sweat would be great for working out, but when your training not so good. I was supposed to do 2 – 3 minutes  sets of 10-12 reps. First set was fine, 2^nd set not so good, and the 3^rd set of just cleans was plain out exhausting. So I now know, training is having a goal or event in mind, working out is just getting work in. Right now I’m training so no more garage sessions over 75f.

Thanks for reading and I'll be posting alot more from now on.....
