Slower is better

Slower Is Better

August 23, 20243 min read

Ever felt this way?

You decide it's time to start a fitness program. You're all in. Six days a week. No breaks.

Your mind is ready, but your body isn't.

Here's how fitness results typically happen:

1. Your heart gets stronger first. Within a month, you'll see improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.

2. After about 8 weeks, muscle-building begins. You'll look leaner and get stronger.

3. Around 6 months, bone density increases.

4. But it takes 9 months or longer for tendons and ligaments to strengthen.

This gap is where injuries often happen. Your cardiovascular system and muscles are ready for more, but your joints aren't.

When your joints hurt, you slow down. You might skip workouts. Your progress stalls.

The solution? Start slower.

Begin your program as if you're 9 months in, not 9 days. Focus on your ligaments and tendons. They need the most care.

By taking it slow, you can stay consistent month after month, year after year.

It's better than starting strong and burning out before reaching your potential.

Play the long game. Your whole body will benefit.

ack pain is common … but I don’t have to tell you, right?

About 80% of adults will experience it at some point, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. For those over 50, the chances are even higher.

Many people stop exercising because of back pain. Others avoid starting a fitness program altogether.

The idea that exercise will worsen back or joint pain is a myth. It's frustrating to hear this misconception.

Of course, jumping from the couch into intense training with an achy back isn't smart. That's not what I'm suggesting.

Instead, consider having a qualified trainer evaluate your movement and flexibility. They can design a personalized program to increase your strength and improve flexibility.

This approach is far better than the extremes: doing too much or doing nothing at all.

Don't let back pain keep you from being active. With the right guidance, exercise can actually help manage and reduce pain.
