In this episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast, I’m answering a common question: "How can I make my workouts sustainable?" Whether you're juggling a busy schedule, transitioning into a new season of life, or just trying to keep your fitness routine on track, this episode is for you.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
3 Ways to Adapt Your Fitness Program:
-
Take More Rest Times:
Learn to listen to your body and take rest when you need it. Rest is essential to make your workouts sustainable and prevent burnout, especially in high-intensity programs. -
Change Up Your Workout Days:
If you’re in a season where 4-5 days of exercise aren’t feasible, spread out your workout days. Instead of doing all workouts in one week, extend them over two weeks to fit your schedule. -
Modify Your Rep Scheme, Weights, or Timing:
Adjust the intensity by altering the number of reps, the amount of weight you’re lifting, or the timing of your exercises. This makes your routine more manageable and suited to your current energy levels and time constraints.
