I try to go intense 2-3 times a week (usually 2). Other than those 2 intense workouts that make me sore and tired... my other 3-4 workouts are less intense. More leisure but with proper direction. <br /><br />You cannot just lift lift lift or run run run and continue to see progress. You need to recover. And some recovery comes in the art of training lightly (20 easy reps of things) and getting in steps. <br /><br />Unless you are using anabolic steroids and your body recovers like wolverine, you NEED to let your body recover properly.  If you continue to leave the gym or your home workouts feeling like you cannot walk the next day...something is wrong. Decrease the weight, the reps or intensity a notch. Nothing wrong with turning it down. You should NOTTTTT feel like you got hit by a train after all workouts. <br /><br />Again, once in a while it happens. But if you THINK your workout is ONLY good when you feel like you ran a marathon through a fire uphill both ways carrying a boulder on your back.... thats false. Some workouts are made for recovery. Mae for touching up a muscle. Not destroying them. <br /><br />PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD: Slowly increasing intensity, weight or volume over time. Time!!! Not every single workout.

I try to go intense 2-3 times a week (usually 2). Other than those 2 intense workouts that make me sore and tired... my other 3-4 workouts are less intense. More leisure but with proper direction. <br /><br />You cannot just lift lift lift or run run run and continue to see progress. You need to recover. And some recovery comes in the art of training lightly (20 easy reps of things) and getting in steps. <br /><br />Unless you are using anabolic steroids and your body recovers like wolverine, you NEED to let your body recover properly.  If you continue to leave the gym or your home workouts feeling like you cannot walk the next day...something is wrong. Decrease the weight, the reps or intensity a notch. Nothing wrong with turning it down. You should NOTTTTT feel like you got hit by a train after all workouts. <br /><br />Again, once in a while it happens. But if you THINK your workout is ONLY good when you feel like you ran a marathon through a fire uphill both ways carrying a boulder on your back.... thats false. Some workouts are made for recovery. Mae for touching up a muscle. Not destroying them. <br /><br />PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD: Slowly increasing intensity, weight or volume over time. Time!!! Not every single workout.

Eat 1000 calories a day! Run 1000 miles and you'll get lean. OR the opposite: Workout for 3 hours a day. NO DAYS OFF. Eat whatever you want as long as you workout harder..... all of this info is confusing and not fitting for MOST people. Generalizing, but by most I mean like 99% of people. <br /><br />Sure, certain things work. Eating 1000 calories and running 10 miles MAY help you quickly drop some weight.... but it is not healthy. It is not sustainable. It is not okay. <br /><br />JUST CAUSE IT WORKS, DOES NOTTTTT MEAN IT IS WORKING!! Quick results are usually not sustainable results and anytime you are removing nutrients and health out of your life...you cannot expect to see the goals you truly want. <br /><br />This episode is basically a call to action: extremes are usually not healthy. Making a full 180 overnight on your health is usually not healthy. We often need to take baby/medium steps before doing anything drastic. And I bet usually you'll find that those baby/medium steps, work. It's all you need to find balance between health and results. <br /><br />Do what works for your longevity. ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themuscleblueprint.podbean.com/dc60f0d8-503a-3b60-b0ce-5213bbcab5a2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Nov 2021 16:10:24 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/49399230/just_cause_it_works_doesnt_make_it_right8c8mu.mp3" length="9288768" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Matt Mastro</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>A lot of what we are told in fitness is FAST results. 15 minute abs.

No two ways around it. It is like quicksand and when you struggle harder, it pulls you in deeper. A lot of our friends and family do not understand that "feel better" is not a way to help people with anxiety to feel better. It takes daily effort, just like our physical fitness, to improve our mental health, including anxiety.

Today we will discuss the issues with at home programs and how to make them more effective. We often want to follow people on instagram and youtube to achieve their physiques. While reality is, resistance training (training with weights) is much more effective at shaping one's body, training from home can be a great alternative when done correctly. IF YOU WANT TO TONE, you cannot tone what does not exist. If you do not have muscle, there is nothing to tone. Facts. Check out my at home program on <a href="http://www.mattmastro.com" rel="noopener">www.mattmastro.com</a> or sign up for our membership to learn more about growing muscle from your house so that you can also tone and detail that physique just the way you'd like. Try not to fall into the trap of doing workouts that are strictly cardio and expect to get muscular tone. Cardio is great for your heart, but not always great for your overall physique (depending on your goals). Lets learn how to build muscle, then detail it into a physique. Start today.
