45. Why Doing Less Exercise Will Get you Better Results

Listen Later

We are taking a break from nutrition this week (if you haven’t been tuning in, we took a deep dive into nutrition over the last 8 episodes of the show!), and talking about a very important concept in fitness called the minimum effective dose.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How I learned the hard way that the “go hard or go home” mentality does not work long term and why it’s more harmful than productive
  • Why beating yourself up in your workouts is not a requirement to get results
  • What the minimum effective dose is and ways to use it to your advantage
  • What it looks like to build a more sustainable approach to fitness that serves you for years to come
  • Why prioritizing recovery will help you get closer to your goals
