Knowing When to 'Back Off'


Listen Later

Training and developing your health and fitness are vital ingredient in life. But backing away now and then is equally as important. 
As James discusses in this episode, it’s okay to take a break, and it’s perfectly possible that you’re doing too much. By following James’ expert guidance, you’ll be better able to spot the best times to take your foot off the pedal.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Over-training can lead to injury and extreme fatigue. We need to remember that the body always needs to recover so that positive effects can take place.
Extreme fatigue can lead to us not physically being able to hit our goals, which then leads to a downturn in our mental state.
The programmes we often see online are designed to work relentlessly and have no idea of your age, sleep patterns, sex, physical state, or many other factors which can drastically affect its outcome.
Don’t listen to the advice of influencers. Their images are generally manufactured in order to seem aspirational, and have no relevance to reality.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you’re red-lining all the time then eventually something’s going to give’
‘Failure becomes this perpetuating cycle’
‘Experience comes through training and knowledge’
‘You need to train specifically for you'
