Double Your Work Outs to Fitness

By

If we are not exercising to exhaustion on each work out, we are probably building reserves.

If I can run four miles a day and do it several times a week, after a while my body becomes capable of running more on a given day. If on a Friday, I were to run 6 to 8 miles I could probably do it without too much strain

That doesn’t mean I could run that distance every day. I should then either rest the next day or take my run down to two miles for the next two days. Then on Mon, Tues, and Wed I would run four miles and on Thurs run two miles.

On Friday I would then run 6 to 8 miles and rest on Saturday or take it back to two miles for two days. If we are enthusiastically trying to build our routine we can get into an over trained condition by thinking we are in better shape than we really are by virtue of that great Friday accomplishment.

Over training symptoms are generally lethargy and tiredness with no desire to exercise.

I use running as an example but you can apply it to any exercise routine you do. Your rate of growth will also depend on how many years of reserve exercise you have, your weight and your fuel and recovery nutrition.

If you have a good foundation, after a month you might be able to take your daily work out to five miles and then the Friday workouts to 8 to 10 miles. If it takes three months, that’s all right too. Rest between work outs is as important as the work out. It is good to attack each one fresh.

A person that has been exercising for years will have more reserves than the person who has just started after years of no exercise. Pushing too hard with no foundation leads to burn out, quitting, or injury. Build carefully.
