Tuesday, I went to a Rise Against concert - at the concert I decide to have two light beers, and by the time I got home it was well past my bedtime, and I needed to be up before 8am.
In my 20's - this wouldn't have been a problem.
At 35, it felt like I had spent the past week on a bender.
And when it comes to working out, lot of people keep the same mindset they had in their early 20s but life looks much differently when you’re 30+
You’re dealing with:
• More life stress (career, kids, responsibilities)
• Different priorities
• Less margin for error
The problem isn’t effort. It’s that your recovery capacity has dropped, and you don't have the same time you used to.
So, if you take the same approach you did in your 20's, instead making progress at the gym you'll end up:
• Constantly sore
• Picking up small injuries
• Plateauing or even regressing
• Getting frustrated
• Quitting altogether
It’s not that you can’t workout hard anymore. You just can’t train recklessly.
You need a smarter approach when it comes to your workouts.
A more measured approach with your nutrition.
And you actually have to get some sleep.
Now, if you're wondering what a workout could look like - comment "6-Weeks" and I'll send you my free manual that breaks down a 6-Week Workout Program you can use to get back on track without breaking down your body.
Oh, how times have changed.
