I just can’t workout 5-6 days a week.
It's a common misconception that we need to be hitting the gym 5-6 days a week to achieve our fitness goals. But the truth is, our bodies need time to rest and recover. Our central nervous system is at the forefront of this restorative process. It's responsible for processing information from the brain and transmitting it to the rest of our body. When we're working out, we're placing a lot of stress on our central nervous system, which can result in fatigue, reduced strength, and even injury if we don't give it a chance to recover. That's why it's essential to take a break and allow our bodies to rest. It may seem counterintuitive, but by working out 2-3 days a week consistently, we can achieve amazing results. The key is to focus on compound movements that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This approach will help us hit all the muscle groups we need to while still giving our bodies the rest it needs to grow. It's important to remember that unless we're professional bodybuilders or using performance-enhancing drugs, we have a lot to gain by scaling back our days. The bro science that tells us we need to be working out every day or we won't see results is just that – bro science. It's time to embrace the idea that less is more when it comes to working out. By giving our bodies the chance to rest and recover, we're setting ourselves up for long-term success. As the saying goes, "The road to success is always under construction." Achieving our fitness goals is no different. It's a journey that requires patience, commitment, and a willingness to adapt. So, let's give ourselves permission to take a break and allow our bodies to recover. In doing so, we'll be setting ourselves up for long-term success and a healthier, happier life. Remember, we're in this together.
