Resting is Part of the Game Plan

Sup people! Bboy Ndure here once again to just talk about random crap that will probably make you not wanna read this post anymore ^_^ But any case, for many of us, Summer break is already half over. Being to this bench point, it really made me look back and think about what I have accomplished as a bboy. To be honest, I am both disappointed and happy at the same time. Ya, I know..rather confusing right? XD

Well, I am happy because I have been trying to put some focus on a specific move while trying to redefine the kind of bboy I am. By doing so, it soaked up quite a bit of my training time o.O In fact...it definitely have prevented me from learning or creating a couple more things >.< Then I remember somewhere in my mind (not sure where I heard it, but it's just there...so just accept it) that "resting is part of training too".

Then I recalled the time when I started learning my first and second power moves, windmills and master swipes respectively, and compared the learning processes of both. It seems like I obtained the two techniques not due to the result of constant and continuous training, but as direct consequence of taking a minor break in between those intensive training sessions.

I am no doctor (although aiming to be one), but my guess is that the stress accumulated while trying to learn something is the major factor that prevents us from achieving our desirable results. If our muscles are all worn out from, let's say, 4 weeks of daily and strenuous training, how can one expect one's body to comply and perform as if it is not exhausted? Therefore, taking a short break may prove to be more productive than training. Resting is kind of training too~

This will be short post...just because I wrote this at 4:51 AM =.= BUT TOMORROW IS REDBULL BC ONE USA QUALIFIER!! Can't wait to get together with the rest of my crew brothers and rep it hard on the dance floor! ^_^ Don't get much of a chance to do that nowadays..gotta make every second count >:3
