Minimal Effective Dose.
__
One of my favorite terms. I love it. It essentially means (in a health & fitness sense) you do as little work as possible in order to reach your goals.
__
Many people are attempting to do entirely too much in order to reach their goals. Now, while I appreciate the enthusiasm when people want to start a new routine, they need to understand a few things.
__
First off, that if you went from zero to full throttle, then you probably won’t be able to keep that pace for a long time. Remember, we are looking to build a lifestyle here. Not a 8-12 week sprint.
__
Second, if you can achieve the exact same goals with less work or with eating more food, then why wouldn’t you!?
__
Most of my clients only strength train 3x/week on average for about 30-35 minutes each time. If you are working out to your specific needs and maximizing the time that you spend working out, then that is typically all you’ll need (unless you’re an athlete looking to improve in your specific sport).
__
So, figure out how to utilize the time that you have to the max, individualize it, and don’t do more than what is actually necessary to achieve your goals! Let me know if I can help you with anything!
