One of the greatest disservices that the fitness industry has done for the general population is make us believe that in order to hit our goals, feel our best, or get super strong and fast, we have to workout at 100% effort all of the time.
This is simply untrue, ineffective and unsafe in the long run.
We use the term "minimum effective dose" to describe
the minimum amount of exercise or physical activity you need to do to elicit changes in your fitness or health level.
This is important, because as busy adults with many other stressors and responsibilities in our life, expecting to be able to hit maximal effort all of the time is simply impossible, and as stated above, inefficient and unsafe in the long haul.
We need to consider our minimal effective dose for a few reasons:
- Do you have a group of friends, big or small?
- Children, pets, hobbies?
- Do you work full time or part time?
Finally, consider that the more time, effort, and focus you dedicate to your training, the more time, effort, and focus you also need to dedicate to your recovery.
This is why we encourage clients and members to stay consistent in a way that isn't detrimental to their physical and mental health!
Are you struggling to find the right balance of intensity and recovery? Or, just feeling lost?
