So we are up and running and hitting Tuesday with a spring in our steps? If you had a great workout yesterday, and eaten well yesterday and today, then surely we are all up for getting through good workouts again today and the rest of the week?
When it comes to frequency of workouts, I would advise the following.
Whilst any exercise is considered good and nobody could ever deny that, you should always commit to some sort of plan.
My advice would be to train a minimum of 3 times a week.
This allows you to get a lot out of exercise, it allows you to do different things, create more variety in your training and gets your body better used to the rigours of exercising regularly.
Training four times a week or even five times can really increase all the benefits greatly, if you have the time to do so.
If you train four times a week, I would split It up typically by doing a Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday off, then training Thursday and Friday again. I would also do some mild exercise on the weekend, so you don’t feel too sluggish for Monday’s workout!
I would never train more than three day in a row, as the body needs rest, and you will come back fresher for the break.
I have some people who train 6 times a week, every week. However, these are the individuals usually who have been training for a lot of years, have different goals and require the training frequency in order for them to reach a high level.
I would never train 7 days a week, you definitely need at least ONE day a week off, in order for your body to recuperate and get its energy levels back up t get ready to go again.
We can talk a lot about training frequency, but the main thing is to actually show up in the first place, so get going today!
