Train Smarter, Not Harder: How to Avoid Spring Burnout
Spring is here, and with it comes new motivation to train. But jumping in too hard, too fast can lead to burnout, fatigue, or injury—and we don’t want that!
To keep progressing without setbacks, here’s how to train smarter, not harder:
1️⃣ Balance Progressive Overload with Recovery
Progressive overload is essential—but your body needs time to adapt. Increase intensity gradually and take recovery just as seriously as your workouts.
🚀 Tip: Schedule a deload week every 4-6 weeks to allow for proper recovery.
2️⃣ Prioritize Rest & Mobility
More training doesn’t always mean better results. Rest days, mobility work, and quality sleep keep your body injury-free and strong.
🧘♀️ Try this: Add a 5-minute mobility flow before workouts or before bed.
3️⃣ Follow This Recovery Checklist
✔ Hydrate: 2-3L of water daily
✔ Move: 5 minutes of mobility work
✔ Sleep: 7-9 hours per night
