Plateauing

A training plateau is a time when you are no longer progressing in your workouts. You may have simply stopped being able to add more weight to your sets, or perhaps you haven't gained any additional muscle in quite some time. The worse part about hitting a plateau is that it could be due to a number of reasons which only leaves you feeling more confused than ever! Could it be you're training too much, not training enough, eating too much, not eating enough, changing your workouts too often or not often enough.

When you hit a plateau you can choose to do three things; quit, keep training regularly and be satisfied with not gaining anymore or BUST through this plateau as if it were nothing at all.

Hopefully you choose the last option and if you have the will, I will provide you with the way.

You have to make changes to your program design. Now before you switch everything upside down and start doing the opposite of everything you have been doing, I want to first let you know, you should always start by changing 1 or 2 little things to begin with. Never make so many changes that you cannot accurately trace back to what caused the plateau in the first place. Start by making small changes and assess if they made a difference or not within a week.

Then, if you need to, make additional changes. But always start off with small changes as our bodies respond much better to smaller changes and it's much easier to do than change everything all at once.

Compound Exercises....what are they?

Compound exercises are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. For example, a squat is a compound exercise that works the quadriceps, glutes, and calves.

Compound exercises differ from isolation exercises. Those work a single muscle group at a time. A traditional bicep curl is an isolation exercise meant to strengthen the biceps, for example.

Isolation exercises are sometimes beneficial in physical therapy to strengthen certain muscles or rehabilitate them after injury.

The biggest benefit of compound exercises may be that they are an efficient use of your time. If you only have a limited amount of time to exercise, you’ll work more muscles and build more strength by focusing on compound exercises.

JOURNALING
———————-
Journaling is the act of keeping a record of your personal thoughts, feelings, insights, and more. It can be written, drawn, or typed. It can be on paper or on your computer. It's a simple, low-cost way of improving your mental health.

It’s a great way to out your thoughts and emotions across if you’re someone who struggles to open up about how you’re feeling.

It’s important to keep our body fit and healthy, but what’s even more important is keeping our mental health fit and healthy.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is not a diet, it's a pattern of eating. It's a way of scheduling your meals so that you get the most out of them. Intermittent fasting doesn’t change what you eat, it changes when you eat.

Why is it worthwhile to change when you’re eating?

Most notably, it’s a great way to get lean without going on a crazy diet or cutting your calories down to nothing. In fact, most of the time you'll try to keep your calories the same when you start intermittent fasting. (Most people eat bigger meals during a shorter time frame.) Additionally, intermittent fasting is a good way to keep muscle mass on while getting lean.

Yerba Mate 🧉

Yerba Mate is a traditional South American drink that’s gaining worldwide popularity. The leaves are typically dried over a fire, then steeped in hot water to make the tea. Yerba mate is traditionally consumed from a container called a gourd and sipped with a metal straw that has a filter at its lower end to strain out the leaf fragments. Sharing it from this traditional gourd is said to be a sign of friendship and bonding.

The benefits:

- Rich in Antioxidants and Nutrients
- Can boost energy and mental focus
- Enhances physical performance
- Protects against infections
- Helps reduce your appetite
- Boosts your Immune System
- Lowers blood sugar levels
- Aids in lowering your risk of heart disease

*Taken from the Daily Stoic*

Life (and our job) are difficult enough. Let's not make it harder by getting emotional about insignificant matters or digging in for battles we don't actually care about. Let's not let emotion get in the way of the simple, appropriate actions on the path of virtue.

In todays video we go over a few questions that I was asked a couple of weeks ago.

A few of the questions were too complex to be able to fit in a whole explanation so be sure to look out for more detailed videos in the future.

SCHEDULING YOUR WORKOUTS
-------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to fitting in a workout, most of us claim to do the best we can within our busy schedules. However, there is one big problem that us Online Coaches see with folks who don’t work out often enough. They’re lacking in the scheduling process. This problem is often the result of “finding the time” to work out versus “making the time” to work out.

COMMITMENT ✍️

When you schedule your workouts, they become more routine. They become much like anything else you do every day, such as brushing your teeth, washing your face, or walking your dog. The more ingrained your workout routine becomes in your normal day, the more consistent you will be.

BALANCE ⚖️

A scheduled workout allows you to be consistent and to develop a balanced workout of strength, flexibility, and cardio training (including interval work) each week. When a workout lacks consistency, we may lean on performing one type of training. This is possibly due to what is more familiar and what you think you can fit in on that particular day or time.

REST + RECOVERY 💤

Rest days are not optional, but rather essential. They allow your muscles the necessary time to recover from physical activity. When you have a scheduled workout routine, your body will welcome rest days. It’s more impactful than if you worked out once or twice a week, then took several days off.

TRACK PROGRESS 📔

Scheduling helps keep you on track toward your goal. “Whether your goal is a triathlon, a Spartan race, or losing 5kg, scheduling your workout will help you move toward it. I recommend sticking to a regular schedule and keeping a journal so you can see and track your progress.
