Your body is constantly adapting to stress - physical, emotional, and chemical.
Coach Mercedes and I talk about how training is a valuable stressor. Pushing yourself hard can help you grow stronger, but you don’t need to redline every workout to make progress.
Some workouts are going to be an RPE of 10 (all out) while most of the time you will operate consistently around an RPE of 8.
Also, don’t forget that you have to move to create energy. So simply by showing up and moving you can help yourself create more energy for the day.
And some days, the win is simply showing up, moving your body, and doing what you can.
That matters even more (consistency is key) when you’re a busy parent managing work, family, sleep, and everything else life brings.
Train hard and stay consistent - keep the momentum going.
