About mid way through he talks about strategy
When we undergo the stress of physical exercise, our body adapts and becomes more efficient. It’s just like learning any new skill; at first it’s difficult, but over time it becomes second-nature. Once you adapt to a given stress, you require additional stress to continue to make progress.
There are limits to how much stress the body can tolerate before it breaks down and risks injury. Doing too much work too quickly will result in injury or muscle damage, but doing too little, too slowly will not result in any improvement.
Elizabeth Quinn writes about exercise and feels that sports medicine has a reputation of being reserved for professional athletes, but anyone who is active can benefit from understanding the basics of sports medicine. Here she speaks about recovery and rest days.
Great video and great article. I enjoy reading the stuff you put up here, Mark. Pizza and cake for me last night = headache and no workout this morning. See you this afternoon!
Nicole: So that’s what you do when I’m at work?! No fair!!!
Another great article Mark! Thanks for reminding us about the importance of rest. I find the Crossfit workouts to be so fun, that I sometimes forget to prescribe myself “Off Weeks” where I can get out of the box and try other activities such as swimming, yoga, rockclimbing, etc.
In fact, I think I may be due for a rest week fairly soon…
That’s a good point Richard-even subbing out some active recovery at the beach on these nice summer days can be useful now and then!
