Maximize Your Recovery to Improve Results Feb 18, 2022

Show notes

I know rest days are important for recovery. But HOW should I spend those days? And are there other activities I can add into my daily/weekly routine to help me maximize my results?

Recovery isn't just taking a day off every now and again. Recovery can be viewed as everything outside of your training sessions themselves. How well your body recovers is determined by stress, hydration, nutrition, sleep, and muscle recovery exercises. Making a conscious effort to maximize recovery allows you to get the most out of your last exercise session and to get the most out of the next one.

In other words:

What you do BETWEEN your workouts determines what you get FROM your workouts.

What About Rest Days? Feb 11, 2022

Show notes

Check out this episode of the Street Parking Unlocked Series to see how we have laid out the 4 Stages for Work Days/Rest Days to find what is right for you.

Proper rest is not only CRITICAL for achieving optimal results - but is also going to be extremely important if you want to establish a lifetime of consistency!

Giving your body some well-deserved "time off" is great - and necessary - for seeing results, letting your tissues heal, preventing injury (or burn out), and helping to keep the "desire" alive! (You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder!!)

What if I want to lose weight? Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

But I want to lose weight. Won't working out MORE burn MORE calories??

Before we dive too deep into this one - three things must be established:

1: Weight loss DOES require you to burn more calories than you consume. #science

2: We burn calories ALL DAY - even when we are asleep - and MORE exercise isn't the ONLY way to increase or alter daily calorie burn.

3: What you are probably really after isn't "weight loss" - but FAT LOSS. In other words, a body composition change.

Feeling that the best way to lose weight more quickly is to work out MORE is the wrong mindset to have - especially when the overall goal is fat loss/body composition change. While the short answer is "yes - exercise burns calories" it's not as much of the weight loss equation as you would think.

The truth is that this MORE WORKOUTS mindset is often a desire to bypass the very real need to change your nutrition - and instead exercise your way to your goal body. If your goal is to lose fat, your best bet is looking into your total caloric intake, the quality of your food, AND hit the workouts with consistency and intensity.

The need for consistency when it comes to a fat loss goal is fairly straightforward. Even on the days where we are approaching workouts with a "more than nothing" attitude in our pjs - we still see the benefit of burning a few calories, using our muscle, and keeping ourselves accountable so that we don't fall off of the wagon completely. And we know that consistency is the ONLY way that we are able to maintain any weight loss we have achieved. So, trying to follow a program or schedule that is not sustainable - is a recipe for inconsistent training, and therefore inconsistent results.

Remember: Exercise is more than a method to burn calories. Fitness improves our quality of life, ability to participate and enjoy life, longevity, mental clarity, mood, sleep, and so much more!

Next Up..

The next 2 episodes will be centered around the Street Parking belief in nutrition - and you will be happy to know….it's just as simple and realistic as the workouts are.

Reaching for Personal Fitness Goals Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

On the road to a lifetime of consistency - a few "mile markers" and small personal goals may help to keep us interested and always improving.

If you haven't already read/listened to the first 2 "Unlocked Series" Blog/Podcasts - check those out first!

Your very first goal should be to develop a habit and make consistency in fitness and health habits your priority. This means, of course, just moving in SOME way 4-6 days a week for a solid period of time.

After consistency has been established - it's not by adding more TIME and more workouts into the mix that we see the most improvement. Instead it's practicing Intensity. We need to be intentional about the effort we put into each session - and remember duration should NOT be mistaken for effort.

So when IS the right time to add in more workouts - maybe add a Street Parking Extra Program on top of the daily workouts?

Ask yourself these 2 questions…

What are my personal health and fitness goals?

Are you training for something specific - or do you just want to be as fit and healthy as possible to feel great day to day?

What do I have going on in my life right now?

This is a big one. Life has seasons. Too often, it's not the goal that is the problem - it's the timing of the goal.

Intensity Volume Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

Never mistake duration for effort.

ALL of the tools we have designed within the Street Parking Program are in place to help you develop 2 things: CONSISTENCY first and then INTENSITY.

Before worrying about intensity, consistency should have already been established. This means consistent training days for at least a few months. Once this is dialed in, the next step isn't to add in MORE workouts. You actually need to turn up the heat.

If someone is super consistent, and not seeing results, a lack of intensity in their training is almost ALWAYS the reason why (aside from what might be going on in the kitchen).

Results come from the EFFORT in each of your workouts, NOT the duration.

So HOW hard do I need to go EXACTLY?

Do I Need to Work Out MORE? Dec 31, 2021

Show notes

"A habit must be established before it can be improved."- James Clear

Consistency is much easier to achieve when the parameters aren't so rigid. So, pick what you like. Pick what appeals to you. Develop consistency in training using all of the resources available to you. But at first, don't try to stack workouts. Pick ONE thing to focus on each day. The most simple approach AND the one that we love the most: just follow the daily workouts. Do this 4-6 days per week, and make that your goal for 6 months.

NEXT UP…

Maybe YOU already are consistent?

Or what comes AFTER consistency has been developed? NOW do I need to be doing MORE?

After a few months of rock solid consistency, it's time we look at "Phase 2": INTENSITY.
