DON'T Skip Thursdays

LiveFit Radio Podcast with Derek Kuryliw💪💪

You're KILLING your progress making this one simple mistake... By taking off Thursdays from working out you set up an inevitable trend that we have seen historically over the nine years training clients at LiveFit. Over the last almost decade of LiveFit Thursday's have almost always been the slowest day of the week. Now while I highly recommend taking days off when necessary to stretch, rest your body, have a social life or whatever it might be.... ...unfortunately this simple move typically leads to also taking off Friday's, Saturdays and Sundays! This simple little action might not seem like much, but when you do the simple math you are setting yourself up for 208 days OFF from your workout program over 52 weeks. That's almost 60% of your year spent on "off days"! Where this really adds up over time is the fact that typically we are not as conscious of the foods that we are eating on our off days. We are also not stretching as we normally do before a workout and we are not getting our heart rate up during our typical warm-up. So it's not just the workout you are missing. Your muscles are missing being stretched and primed for activity. Your heart is missing the accelerated blood flow and nutrients it carries with it throughout your body. Your brain is missing the endorphins released during exercise making you happy and more energetic. Your confidence suffers because internally deep down you know when you are taking steps in the right direction, and when you are not. So don't skip Thursdays! Instead what I recommend in the video below is something that has been working really well for our clients over the last few months. It's a new strategy we have started incorporating that allows busy moms to only attend three workouts per week, but still get the equivalent of five or six workouts for the week. Or, just a moving. Stretch, walk, lift or anything else that keeps your body moving to prevent rust, keep the metabolism burning hot and keep inching you closer to your goals! Committed to your fitness success, D
