Intense exercise is great for boosting your physical performance but you can easily get too much of a good thing. Dwindling energy, low motivation and niggling injuries… all signs you are outstripping your body’s ability to recover from each bout of hard work.
A simple prescription you can use to avoid this overtraining trap: 80/20 Fitness.
80% of the time your exercise should be easy, enjoyable and energising.
20% of the time your exercise should be hard, intense and challenging.
It’s a great combination which allows you to stay in really good shape without adding unnecessary wear & tear to your muscles, joints and connective tissues.
