Today I'd like to share more of a personal philosophy rahter than a specific workout.Actually it's not technically my philosophy but rahter things learned from personal experience and research.Sorting through the bull that prevails in fitness and learning from real experts and of course my own body.
I have always had a hard time with the concept of an "easy" workout ever since I can remember.To me if I wasn't going all out I was wasting my time.This was true for both resistance and cardio workouts.I'm coming to realize this mindset is a HUGE mistake.I'm finding that active recovery and rest are equally important as high intensity training if you want to ensure continued progress and injury free training.I know we've all heard the axiom to have a light,medium,heavy day but I don't see many people following it.
I haven't gotten my plan together yet but when I do I'll let you know.One thing I can share is I will no longer follow a monday,wednesday,friday kind of approach.Your body doesn't know what day it is so why follow a calendar?One of my starting points will be to do a high intensity session once every four days.Stay tuned in the next week or so for a full detailed plan!You DON'T need to constantly batter your body to get great results.
