You have to listen to your body. I modify my Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) through a training phase each week, with intensities at 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%, then back to 70%. This helps keep me fresh without going all out every session.Had to do a light session today, I'm tired and weak
Very smart approachYou have to listen to your body. I modify my Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) through a training phase each week, with intensities at 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%, then back to 70%. This helps keep me fresh without going all out every session.
I totally agree with you @chinz especially when we get older.Good to have lighter workouts as well, cannot keep going full on all the Time, body needs to rest
Everyone has those days. Make sure to drink plenty of water today to flush out. Don’t check your weight for the next couple of days, as salt and carbs can cause water retention.I had to take a night off last night, was absolutely exhausted, forgetting things at work and almost nodding off on the way home. I skipped training, ate a bowl of pasta and some sweets..... slept like a log but woke up feeling like I had been licking the dogs ass!! Breakfast and coffee have fixed that so let's see how the day goes.
Its always good to listen to your body! It been a solid six weeksAbsolutely drained.... painful session, no mojo, no energy... I decided to break the diet a bit to refresh myself. Let's see how the next few days go
Going through the tough times, makes you appreciate the great times in the gym. The only problem is we sooner or later we take health for granted .Had to do a light session today, I'm tired and weak
