#2 LIVING LIKE AN ATHLETE
How much exercise should this athlete get?
Roryd sez: Living like an athlete is taking me a lifetime to complete. Living like an athlete goes way beyond minimal fitness to an integration of my body, mind and heart. Living like an athlete means improvement and living as I was designed to live. I appear to have been designed to perform my best with 10.5 hours of exercise a week.
While I average over ten hours week in and week out, I don't believe this much volume is required simply to stay healthy and fit.
Less compulsive people than I could do something like:
Sunday - Rest
Monday - Endurance activity mixed with accelerations, 1 hr.
Tuesday - Light Weights and Stretching 1 hr.
Wednesday - Endurance activity mixed with accelerations, 1 hr.
Thursday - Litht Weights and Stretching 1 hr.
Friday - Endurance activity mixed with accelerations, 1 hr.
Friday - Endurance activity mixed with accelerations, 1 hr.
Saturday - Light Weights and Stretching 1 hr.
WEEKLY TOTAL = 6 hours.
WEEKLY TOTAL = 6 hours.
Six hours a week is a very reasonable effort, but for whatever complex reasons is not enough for me. I am an experiment of one, and I am experimenting with 10.5 hours.
