This is the 5th installment of my podcast, " COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS." The health tip of the day is incorporating an, "Active Rest Day" every 4-6 weeks in order to prevent the probability of injury, and to "rest & reboot" our brains and multiple bodily systems. The activities need to be Low Intensity and Fun; and frequency is the foucs for the day. As an example, it would be benficial to take a walk by the beach or a nice park, stretch, and perform Tai Chi several times on this day with your focus on the things that you are grateful for and your goals. Additionally, participate in a fun activity such as ping pong, tennis, or ice skating. It's important to provide stimulation to all of your senses in a pleasurable manner. This is a time to rejuvenate and replenish what is needed to continue training at a high level for the long haul.
It would be equivalent to filling your gas tank and getting an oil change at the same time- you wouldn't drive your car without gas, would you? Anyone can train for a few months or even years, but few can train for the entirety of their lives.
This one concept of an Active Rest Day is a part of the training principle entitled, 'Periodization" which we will discuss in another video. In short, it is a scientific approach to breaking up the entire year into segments, which vary in work load and intensity, ir oder to peak for an event or competition. However, it is highly effective in optimizing performance, preventing plateaus, and minimizing the rate of injuries. #gymmotivation #healthandwellness #googlepodcasts #itunespodcasts #anchorpodcasts #spotifypodcasts #breakerpodcasts #radiopublicpodcasts #pocketcasts #weightlifting #trainsmart #changeisgood #instagram #injuryprevention #drdenizarmagan #thewellnessdoc #podcasthost #podcastshows #holistichealing #healthylifestyle #changeisgood #youtubechannel #mindbodyconnection #wellnessfitness
