Extra Workouts

People are always asking me if they can do more workouts. Everyone wants to do more, more, more.

I say relax. At most, you should aim for 4 high quality workouts per week, and then stay active and mobile the other 3 days of the week. Get a life full of activity.

So on a 3-day per week program, you may add 1 interval session or bodyweight cardio workout or light weight metabolic resistance conditioning circuit, so you'll have 3 workouts plus 1 extra interval session. Combined with the right diet, you'll reach your goal. Don't overdo it.

My workout today: Experimental leg supersets - some good, some so-so. Fairly good times. Lots of foam rolling and mobility stuff too. Mucho dog walks on the agenda later.

Today's Kickbut Mindset Tip
"If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee

Surround yourself with successful people.
