Years ago when I was a professional bodybuilder, I fell into the mindset that the more I exercised, the less fat I ate, the better I would look and feel. At the time this seemed like the logical thing to do. And maybe in my mind that was correct. However, from my body's standpoint, this was NOT the thing to do, nor was it healthy.
If you have exercised for any length of time, chances are you too have fallen into
this mind trap. If I walk thirty minutes and burn three hundred calories, then I will
walk an hour and burn twice as many. If I eat thirty grams of fat a day and lose two
pounds, then I will eat ten grams a day and lose four pounds. Unfortunately, it’s not
that simple.
While your mind might be able to take that, your body can not. You see this with a
lot with people. Out of the blue they just hit a wall. Their bodies all of a sudden just
say, “That’s it, I done- no more!” I believe exercising efficiently in less time will do
more for you in the long run than trying to do more in the short run.
If you over exercise, your body gets to the point where it just goes through the
motions. The only thing you are
really doing is satisfying your brain. The muscles
shut down, hit plateaus and ache. These are all signs of over doing it. They reality
is, which will seem illogical is that the muscles grow and recuperate while they are
resting, not during the workouts. This was very hard for me to understand until I
worked out for a summer with Brian Silk Mr. Universe. Brian was lifting half the
weight in half the time, performing half the exercising I was doing. Obviously I was
doing something wrong.
He went on to explain to me just this. The hardest thing for me to do at that time
was walk out of the gym when it seemed as though I was only through half my
workout. One year later I won the Mr. Michigan Bodybuilding championships.
Here is my point:
Making progress in your exercise program comes down to; working smarter not
harder, listening to your body, and understanding more exercise is bad for you in
the long run. The magic is in this formula: Consistency + variety + efficiency =
results!
