There's optimum progress and scheduling and then there's doing the best with what you've got. Some people workout or train for something every day, practically. They can do it because they get enough downtime, food, and rest. Athletes might train twice a day, 6 days a week. Then play around with their friends on day 7.
If it becomes a problem, and if you're new to lifting, you could back down to two days per week of lifting and slowly build up to three days. You're body can take a lot, but it also takes ramping up to it. |
OMG!!! and I've been wondering lately what is wrong with me. Just yesterday I accepted the fact that I am not capable of weights 3x a week, at least not heavy, and decided I will go down to 1x heavy (for me) and 1x light...and I won't even start that until I don't hurt.
I hurt all the time. I feel like I never recuperate. And then I get all kinked up and sore too.
I never had this problem when I was younger, but then again, I was never as consistent or worked as hard. And I've worked so hard and I feel like I'm going backwards.
And I don't even ride horses...
I love the exercises in NROL4W, but the intensity is too much for...and I don't think I'm just being a wimp. Time for me to cut back, let my body heal, and work out differently....moderate weight compound exercises (when I'm recovered) and cardio.
Thank you. (seems so logical)
