Too Much, Too little…and the Goldilocks Principle

Goldilocks found the one that was just right

What about you, are you doing the same gym routine you were last year? Are you seeing results? Is your performance getting worse / better? Do you think your workouts are just right or maybe too much? How do you even know?

It may be time for a change if you’re experiencing:

Decrease in performance

Elevated pulse in the morning

Feeling unmotivated

Achy joints, muscle pain

Loss of appetite

Fatigue

Depression

Be like Goldilocks and try different things till you find the one that feels just right. Try higher reps, try lower reps…heck, you can do both. If you don’t know how to do an exercise, get a coach. Try new things, how about yoga…or at least the sun salutation when you get out of bed in the morning, it’s a great way to start the day — sometimes I do this pre-workout.

If you’re doing the old 3 sets of 10 reps, 3 days per week, start doing total body workouts. Is the 3x10x3 wrong? No. It’s just that there’s many ways to skin this cat and you never have to get bored or plateau.

The take-a-way is that you need to TWEAK your fitness plan till it works…till it feels just right.

If you have questions leave a comment, it’s likely others have some of the same questions too — we’ll give you a few tweaks that will get you un-stuck or at least move you one step closer to your goals.

Have a Great Week!
