Back To Basics
Back To Basics
Dear Friend,
If you're like me, once in awhile you get away from working out as often as you should. Here's how to get back on track.
The last few months have been busy for me (like I"m sure they have been for you) and I found myself missing more workouts than usual.
Once I started being aware of the pattern, I saw a reason for the decrease.
As you know, I spend a lot of time keeping up on the latest in health in fitness and finding the best kinds of workouts. Problem is, I sometimes find too much of a good thing.
When I looked back, I saw I was trying to add ALL of the good stuff into my workouts at the same time. This ended up lengthening my workouts - going against one of my firm beliefs - intensity over volume.
Not that what I was doing wasn't great stuff. Just, as the length of my workouts grew, the easier it was to "not find the time" and miss a day or two of exercise per week.
That's not what I'm about.
So, I went back to basics.
I thought about my early training in middle and high school. Before I knew all the other cool stuff was out there. Back when I only knew how to do a few exercises.
I went back to this philosophy a few weeks ago. I cut out all the fluff from my workouts and went back to 2 or 3 basic exercises.
The results. No more missed workouts. And my results took off again. I was looking forward to my workouts and enjoying them more than I had in a long time.
Now this doesn't mean I won't go back to the other techniques. Just that I won't try to do all of them at the same time. Much better to rotate them to keep things fresh, new and interesting.
If you're stuck in a rut - or can't seem to get going - skip all the complicated stuff and get back to basics. Sometimes the most basic workouts are the best. Getting and keeping fit is not as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
