With no clear end in sight yet, it\u2019s remarkable how royally insensitive people are. In the middle of this unprecedented time where we\u2019ve got nothing but time, I\u2019m reminded how painfully clear it is that there are just some folks who are oblivious and have zero perspective.<\/p>\n
Weeks before this started to get out of hand, there was a viral post on my social media feed comparing the number of deaths from the obesity epidemic to COVID-19. At that point in time I thought to myself, \u201cThat\u2019s just plain silly and ignorant. We\u2019re on the brink of a potential outbreak and suddenly everyone is an expert on health, and infectious diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n
Q: I don\u2019t want to put on any more weight than I already have, so I\u2019ve been doing workouts outside using things I can find around the house, and running on my street. What do you think?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> There\u2019s no right or wrong here as everyone\u2019s priorities during this time are different. Since it\u2019s going to be incredibly difficult to replicate the effort and intensity of a traditional workout in a gym, effectively, it\u2019s going to be a far cry from what I would deem optimal. I will say it should get the job done as far as maintaining where you\u2019re currently at, though. Most of all, it\u2019s better than being sedentary.<\/p>\n Q: I\u2019m trying to get some exercise regularly, but it\u2019s just not the same. I miss the gym. Given the circumstances, how often should I workout per week?<\/p>\n A: <\/strong> One of the primary vehicles for expediting results is training at a high frequency that\u2019s manageable. This essentially means those who consistently train 3-5 times a week will likely experience better outcomes than those who only workout 1-2 times a week. Although, this doesn\u2019t mean the latter option should be totally left out. Last week, I openly admitted how my motivation to train is pretty low. Given the current state, I\u2019d wager most of you are in the same headspace. For that reason, it\u2019s fine to do whatever you\u2019re willing to do. You can even micro-dose your workouts. Meaning, with no rhyme or reason you do a little bit here and there throughout the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With no clear end in sight yet, it\u2019s remarkable how royally insensitive people are.
