Promotion of GymTalk's Blog "Less Is More"

A Blog Everyone Should Read

Today I will be talking about a blog post that I urge everyone to read.  This blog is about going back to the basics and it is kind of what  I touched on in my last post.  My train of thought is that most people try to do too much.  They may be on a program for a month, then they will get tired of it and switch to a completely new program.  The blog I read today was titled "Less Is More," and it goes through and talks about exactly that. His blog is humorous and insightful, and I suggest you read it.

The first step that this article talked about was to unfollow every fitness coach from social media except one.  The idea in this is that there is just too much information out there and the variety is not needed.  All you have to do is follow one fitness coach and you will have more than enough information on what to do.

The next step is to figure out what we can actually do.  This gives you a good idea of your base of strength and it will allow you to capitalize on it.  This is all about building a base before you move on to more advanced exercises.

He also talks about going back to a basic 3 meals a day.  You don't have to get fancy with your meals.  All you need is something basic that is going to give you your core nutrients necessary.  Many people will mess with different diets and fads, only to give up on them and go back to where they started.

Finally, he talks about incorporating a fully body workout three days a week.  People are too focused on specializing on a certain muscle group (think of the people that go to the gym and just do bicep curls).  The idea is to hit all of the areas of your body and to create a balanced physique.  Focusing too much on certain areas will cause imbalances and they can cause problems in posture.
