Most people think about their training in terms of splitting up body parts, splitting their cardio and weights workouts, splitting up between morning and evening training sometimes.
Then we come to food, some try to split carbs from protein, some try to not eat much in their day so they can drink alcohol in the evening,
Some people split their eating into different diets through the year.
They may do red and green days for a month (protein on one day, all carbs the next), then they may do the no carb diet just before summer, then they may do a shakes and bars diet for a while, of they are looking for very quick weight loss even if none of these are really sustainable of course!!!
When you split up all of these aspects of your health, your body will suffer because you’re confusing it too much and you’re not allowing it time to settle on a healthy diet with a good amount of nutrients it can rely on every day.
The same thing can happen with your training, if you do just running one week, then just weights the next, your progress will slip back in both these types of workouts.
These types of workouts should always be included WITH each other in every week you train. You must do resistance/weights AND cardio (run/walk/swim/cycle for example) EVERY week to have good results.
With time seemingly a lot shorter for most these days, IT IS entirely possible to do whole body workouts in EVERY session, and the great news is that the best results are usually from this way of training!
You will burn far more calories per workout, you will break more muscle tissue down (which speeds up your metabolism), you will develop a lot more endurance and become much more of an all round athlete!
The benefits are overwhelming so give your body the best possible chance by employing these methods and your body will appreciate very much the stability you give it!
