I would like to share with you a very unique concept that is probably exclusive to C.H.E.K. practitioners and Chek trained holistic lifestyle coaches. This is the concept of “working in” versus “working out.”\u00a0 Here\u2019s what I mean.<\/p>\n

When the average person begins an exercise program, their primary goal is to get back into shape. They have not done physical exercise in a long time. Their diet is poor, their vitality slipping and energy levels are low. In other words, their stress levels are high.<\/p>\n

Consider that exercise is inherently stressful.\u00a0 When highly stressed people begin an exercise (workout plan), they are adding stress on top of stress.\u00a0 This approach may work short-term, but the reality is that in most cases their body ultimately rejects the exercise.\u00a0 Rejection\u00a0 means they get injured, get sick or become so tired and sore they just lose the desire to stick with their workout program.<\/p>\n

Inflicting high intensity exercise “workout” program to a stressed out body causes one\u2019s stress level to rise to a destructive tipping point. Stress overflow equals physical and metabolic shutdown. It\u2019s a natural survival mechanism. The body is saying \u201cOk, if you don\u2019t have the common sense to shut it down, let me do it for you in the form of an injury, illness or pulling the plug on your energy levels\u201d.<\/p>\n

The concept of working in means that when you\u2019re beginning an exercise program, your initial goal is to train in a way that brings energy back into the body rather than making withdrawals on an energy account that\u2019s already in the red. Working in involves paying attention to your exercise volume and intensity. In other words controlling the number of sets, reps, and training frequency. The goal here is to achieve successful fatigue, and not feeling like you\u2019ve been run over by a truck after your exercise training session.\u00a0 Any good training session will have the ability to be duplicated.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t duplicate a training session\u2013because it was too intense, it was not a training session but a maximal effort or a competition level event.\u00a0 If you\u2019re working in properly, you\u2019re creating successful fatigue, which will bring energy back into the body, reduce stress levels and build energy reserves. #workoutworkin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
