SUSTAINABLE TRAINING - CONTENTS

Just stepping into a gym can be intimidating. Then figuring out how to use the equipment and how to train properly can be an overwhelming task often becoming a sink or swim experience.

Sustainable training is so important to get right early on to ensure you build a great lasting habit that can compound over time into incredible wildfire results.

Rushing the process can for sure lead to some fast results. However, those results are temporary because when life gets busy, throws you a curve ball or injury occurs training inevitably falls off. Then you regress all the way back to where you first started or even further behind. Chasing quick results always leads to this on and off the wagon behaviour and results can never compound that way.

4 PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY

SAFETY

The condition of being protected from danger, risk or injury.

Go Slow

• Don’t go too heavy or do too much. Stay away from muscular failure. Focus on learning the correct technique, posture and moving the weight/body with control.

Warm up & Cool Down

• Don’t skip warm ups and cool downs and don’t over complicate them. Get moving, get your heart rate up and get a sweat going for a warm up, this can be a machine or mobility/dynamic based movements. Light walking or stretching while focusing on slowing down your breathing and heart rate is good for a cool down.

ENJOYMENT

The state or process of taking pleasure in something.
