Ever hear the phrase “Listen to your body”, but have no idea what it actually means?This installment of Technique Tuesdays with Tim is here to change that by breaking down a concept called “autoregulation”. While it sounds fancy schmancy, its applications to your training can actually be pretty simple.The specific tool we cover today is called Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), which you can think of as your personal GPS for finding your “stress sweet spot” in your training: being challenged just enough so that you actually get stronger, but not so much that you’re walking around consistently feeling like you just got hit by a truck. We’ll go over common mistakes, specific applications, and how to know you’re doing it right, so that you can start practicing this skill at your very next workout.Movement is medicine, and the magic is in the dosage. Find your sweet spot and watch your confidence take off.Be #AthleticButDefinitelyAPartyGirlGot a question or topic suggestion? Send me a text, bb!Instagram: @timlandicho
