How much should you be honoring your body with movement?! Let's chat about it in this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast.
With the growth of my Movement with Julie Tiktok and Instagram account, I have been getting a lot of questions in regards to the frequency of their workouts, so I have put together this episode to address the most frequently asked questions.
What I discussed:
- How long should you workout for? 45 minutes is ideal, but anything less is still great. I wouldn't exceed 60 minutes in fears of overtraining.
- What's the minimum days you should workout? 2 days a week ensuring you are hitting all the major muscle groups. So ideally doing one upper body and one lower body workout a week.
- What's the max days you should workout? Ideally 5, but 6 is okay if you aren't overtraining your muscles. You could workout 5 days a week and do 2 days a week of active recovery.
- What should your rest days look like? Whatever feels best for your body. For me, I like active recovery.
- What happens if you skip a week of workouts? IF you have been super consistent with your workouts, then nothing will happen. Most likely you will benefit from the rest. Just ensure you are focusing on your nutrition that week.
If you want to get upper body and lower body workouts you can do weekly, or 30 minute variations of workouts if you're short on time, or you have the time and you want 5 days a week of 45 minute workouts, check out my Movement with Julie app. It makes it super easy for you to train hard without over training as a carefully program each week of workouts to ensure you hitting every single muscle group the perfect amount so you see optimal results.
