YOU DON’T PROPERLY RECOVER
You will not be able to continue or
maintain your weight loss if you end up
being too sore to maintain your workout
program for the remainder of the week.
You can end up plateauing if you don’t
take your recovery time seriously enough.
Pumping iron means you’re breaking
your body down literally through causing
microtears within your muscle tissues,
and that is why you need to allow plenty
of time for your muscles to rebuild before
getting back to pumping more iron.
Many people really don’t understand that
eating healthy, drinking enough water and
going to sleep will allow your body to sufficiently
recover so that you can return in a day to do it
all over again at the gym. When you are first
getting started, training three times per week
appears to be a happy compromise for most
men. Or you could do a full body workout every
other day with a recovery day in between.
However, in order to really achieve results,
going 6 days per week to the gym won’t hurt
as long as you alternate muscle groups.
So if your chest day is Monday, then on
Tuesday work your legs so that your upper
body has a chance to recover. If you feel
too sore constantly to move again, try out
one of the ways of speeding your recovery
up following a hard workout to stay on
track with exercising.
