Episode 197: Stop Wasting Your Time: Why You Need to Do WAY Less in the Gym
Manage episode 485652262 series 3285833
I'm calling BS on the fitness industry's "more is better" mentality. I see it constantly - people go from working out 3 times a week to 4, then 5, then 6, then they're doing two-a-days and wondering why they're injured and progress has plateaued. I'm here to tell you: you need to do less, maybe a LOT less.
I break down the biggest time-wasters I see: those ridiculous 45-minute warmups (you need 5-10 minutes, max), trying to run multiple intense programs simultaneously (spoiler: it doesn't work), and recovery protocols that are more about selling you stuff than actually helping you recover. Ice baths? They might actually hurt your gains.
Too many supplements, unsustainable meal prep routines, and bloated 'needs' are getting in the way of your GOALS.
The question isn't "what should I add?" - it's "what can I cut out?" Your routine should fit your life, not consume it.
