Episode notes
Personal Struggle with Overtraining
- Shannon Ritchey shared a personal story about feeling her body deteriorate despite intense workouts in her early twenties.
- She observed many fit clients looking good externally but suffering from pain and dysfunction internally.
Choose Exercises That Suit You
- If an exercise hurts or feels wrong, stop and try a different one to avoid joint damage.
- Prioritize exercises that target muscles effectively with less strain and focus on muscle activation.
Focus on Muscle Fatigue Over Calories
- Burning calories through exercise may not affect overall daily energy expenditure.
- Bodies compensate by reducing energy use elsewhere, so focusing on muscle fatigue is more effective than calorie burn.
