Listen to Your Body
Listening to your body’s response to training and nutrition is one of the best skills you can ever learn. Look at all the other factors that lead to your results: mindset, nutrition, recovery, sleep, and supplementation. Here are the questions you should be asking yourself: • Am I feeling the exercise in the right area? • How long does it take me to recover from my workout? • How is my body responding to my exercises, routines, schedule, and program? • Which foods make me feel strong and energized? • Which foods make me feel sluggish and not well? • Based on my overall food intake, do I have any deficiencies I need to supplement for? • Is it easy for me to think positive or negative thoughts? • How many hours of sleep do I need to feel rested?
• Can I tell the difference when I am properly hydrated or dehydrated? People who have learned how to listen to their body know the answers to all those questions. Spending time listening to your body will help you understand what your body will respond best to. Once you figure that out, just do more of the things your body likes and less of the things it doesn’t.
Make It Fit Your Body to Get Better Results! As you can see, personalizing a program and making it work depend on the individual’s response to exercise.
And since people vary, their responses to exercise will vary, making their program uniquely suited for each person. The four techniques I outlined will give you a start on personalizing and improving any program you try. Put these into practice and in time, you’ll figure out which type of exercise program is best for you. If you want to speed up the process, working with an experienced coach will help you figure things out and map out a plan that will get you better results in less time.
