Question 133: Burnout

I’m having currently having all kinds of difficulties. I’m overwhelmed, stressed, and tired. I took a week off training, but I can’t seem to figure out where to start. I have no flexibility what so ever. I want to be able to kick high with speed and power, but I don’t even have the hip strength to hold up my leg. My back is always slouched and it’s hard for me to keep it straight during a stretch. I can’t bend over very far, and I have super tight hamstrings/calves. My martial arts classes seem to put too much emphasis on learning forms. All of these negatives have stressed me out; so I stopped all of my martial arts training.
