A mistake I’ve made in the past… THINKING MORE IS BETTER

A mistake I’ve made in the past… THINKING MORE IS BETTER

When I began my journey, I immediately started looking for ways to do more. More sets, more cardio, more goals, more movements. More time spent training might sound like things that will help you reach your fitness goals, but the opposite usually ends up being the case.

It’s understandable; you’ve made a commitment to yourself, and you want to make sure you’re doing everything you can to live up to it. Plus, if you’re like most people, you spend as much time reading about training online as you do actually training. It doesn’t take long to see the vast number of things you could be doing, but don’t take the bait!

When you’re just starting out, your body will respond positively to just about any stimulus. But if you try to FORCE it to adapt to too much at once, you’ll hit a wall or injure yourself in no time. Your body, your schedule, and your attention span can only handle so much right now. Respect all three!

The Solution: Quality over quantity 🙌🏼. Pick a reasonable program and follow it as closely as you can. Don’t spend more than 45 minutes on your workout per session. Your goal is to get in, do your workout, and leave. Then, come back and do it again, and again, and again.
