How often and how long you should be taking breaks for when training after 40 (Ep.24)
from Growing Younger - Health & Fitness Podcast for Over 40's · host Alex and Gavyn
Send us Fan MailThis time we discuss the topic of taking breaks. Letting your body recover while training is an essential ingredient for making progress and hitting your goals. At the end of the day strength training is literally causing micro-damage to your muscle fibres. And you get stronger when these muscle fibres repair in a stronger position. So allowing time for the repair to take place is a must. But the questions of how long for and how often you should be resting can be quite controversial. We reveal the advice we give to our client at Growing Younger. We always justify our opinion with up-to-date research and knowledge of human physiology.If you're over 40 and you want to receive a FREE copy of our Whole Body At-Home Strengthening Guide specifically designed for people over 40 simply enter your details through this link: https://forms.gle/vj1a1u7cY4Zwposf7
