Exercise, love it when results are good
Exercise is a great thing, it makes us feel great, we have all sorts of chemicals released in ours bodies that promote the feel good factor about what we have done, and rightly so - exercise if done correctly can be a great thing indeed.
On the flip side, it can lead you to feeling frustrated and betrayed! When you work your heart out, sweat out a weeks supply of sweat, lift more and heavier than ever, run faster, row harder and fight more ferociously than you normally do but guess what, sometimes results just don’t seem to be there.
Viscous circle, you then feel you should work harder, more often and for longer. WRONG, when results are not what you want you should rest, take a week to ten days of rest and relax, after all if results aren’t as you want right now, a small rest wont make them worse will it.
Your body adapts to stress, especially if it is repetitive, it reaches a point where it no longer needs to change. resting will reset your adaptation system and allow exercise to cause results once again.
Perhaps even try something new and different after your rest.
Seek professional advice too, they may know something you don’t!
