Don’t Overestimate Results

This is a reminder that most of us don’t want to hear. Reaching any health goal is multifactorial; nutrition, sleep, methods of recovery, and one’s weight training routine are all key components. If your goal is weight loss, you can train daily within your perfect heart rate zone and actually gain weight by eating badly, not sleeping, and/or drinking unneeded calories. You will never reach your goal performance no matter how many targeted heart rate workouts you do if you are undernourished, not functionally strong, or under-recovered.
