We are open seven days a week, and we program for Monday through Saturday. The strength programming is not random. Strength training needs to be structured to be effective. The conditioning programming has a much more random feel to it. As you all are aware, there are no rest days incorporated into the programming. So when do you rest?
You have lots of choices. Hitting the conditioning workouts six days a week is probably a good recipe for over training…duh! My suggestion is to pick two days a week and make those your rest days. I rest every Thursday and Sunday. If your rest day falls on a strength day, I don’t think anyone would feel the affects of over training if you did a strength workout on your rest day.
Be sensible. Listen to your body and your brain. Here are five easy to read symptoms of over training:
- You ache...all the time.
- You are tired...all the time...even when you sleep a lot.
- The thought of training sucks, but....
- You think about training all the time.
- You stop making progress.
