Over Training? How To Know

Many of us get frustrated because we aren't getting the results that we want, especially when we go the gym on a regular basis. Or, we feel as though we are truely putting in more "time" at the gym than others, but "they" seem to be getting results and not us. This is the part where you need to open your mind and read carefully - THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF THIS IN ACTIVE ATHLETIC PEOPLE IS OVERTRAINING! Read it again. I'll wait.

I love the rule the 1-3% Rule by Paul Chek. It's a great rule to follow for optimal conditioning. The rule is very simple and very effective when honored. Here it is: If you can't meet and exceed your previous workout performance by 1-3%, you don't belong in the gym! Take the day off, or enjoy some Work-In exercises. Work-In exercises are called "zone exercises" which can be found in Pauls book "How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy." These exercises are designed to cultivate more energy than it does to execute the exercises - therefore, leaving you more vital than before you began the exercises. Who doesn't want that?

By balancing our work outs and work-In activities, we will make optimal strength and conditioning gains...and, we know that exercise can significantly slow the aging process...all for FREE!!

So, I encourage you to learn about Paul Chek. Learning helps us grow.
