just thinking about your next activity isn’t

beneficial, or even sensible. This can hurt your

goals, or even set you back, which only harm

you in the long run.

Keep things more realistic.

First, rest is very important. Muscles need rest

between workouts. Working the same muscles

in the same way too often results in injury and

a reduction in performance. When a muscle is

overtired, the load is taken into the joint. Joints

are not designed for load they are designed for

movement. Tendinitis and joint pain are pretty

common indicators of over training.

Second, vary your workouts. This is why

fitness instructors recommend doing different

sports or fitness activities. But for “die hard”

weight lifters, variation can be accomplished

in a variety of ways. One common way is to

work different muscle groups in different days.

Another method is to change the way in which

a particular exercise is performed so as to train

the muscles differently. An example of this

would be to change the speed of the lift from

workout to workout, like very slow one day,

the faster the next time the muscle group is

worked.

Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, keep

a realistic schedule that matches your goals.

If you’re going for the Olympics, than by all

means, train long days. If you’re a regular

person who wants to get or stay in shape, you

can easily keep quality workouts with 30 to 60

minutes a day. You don’t even have to exercise

every day to see results, especially if you

maintain a healthy diet.
