63 - Slacking Off Or Being Smart? How to know when to back off or push hard in your training The Chase Life Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
How do you know when it’s appropriate to take your foot off the gas, have a lighter session and reduce volume and how do you know when you're just bullshitting yourself?
Things are rarely black and white but sometimes we hold ourselves to impossible rules and standards that keep us trapped from not only progressing in our training, but in our lives.
The problem is….
So many of us have lost the ability to think for ourselves – certainly when it comes to fitness & nutrition… We rely on someone else to tell us what to do, when to do it, and we’ve simply lost the ability to trust ourselves and our own intuition.
However, there comes a point where you have to figure out what works for YOU and there is no right answer.
Rachel and David delve into how to find that balance in training as a busy professional, how to let go of overanalysing and perfectionistic thoughts regarding diet and exercise, how to learn to think for yourself, how to trust your own decisions, and the key factors to take into account if you’re on the fence between going light or slogging through.
Rachel explains exactly why she believes exercise should NOT be a form of therapy, the dangers of needing exercise in your life as your only outlet for stress, how to detach emotion from food and exercise, and the most important factor of all when it comes to balancing your training (hint: it’s not intensity).
If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between listening to your body versus being lazy, or between pushing hard versus just flogging yourself and digging yourself deeper into a hole, then Episode 63 of the Chase Life podcast is most definitely your episode!
