Are you simply punching the clock?

Training is about maximising positive adaptations from the physical load and stress we place on the body…

To maximise this process you must have appropriate stimulus combined with adequate rest and recovery. To that point each session will have a purpose – some will be about creating stress and others will be centred around facilitating the recovery and adaptation process.

Further to this a sound foundation of supporting habits are a must – rest, sleep, eating habits and daily hydration to name a few.

Not least – knowing the purpose and executing sessions accordingly are critical to OPTIMISE positive adaptations. So exercise MINDFUL (not mindless) training sessions. Be engaged and focused in each and every session. DO NOT simply punch the clock for the sake of it or complete sessions to tick the box or get the green light.

Sometimes quality (not to be mistaken for intensity) is better than quantity… ie. 7-8hrs of quality training is better than simply punching the clock for 12-14hrs a week.

Think about it….
