A concept that helps me and my clients see the big picture and reach their desired goal. (ft. Horrible handwriting)
â˘
Stress + recovery = adaptation.
â˘
When I hear
âIâm working hard but not seeing progressâ
or
âIâm recovering well but still not progressingââŚ
â˘
Thatâs when I break out the equation and look at the big picture.
Is the stress right? Too much? Not enough?
Too little stimulus wonât drive change.
Too much can lead to maladaptationâor injury.
Thereâs a sweet spotâthe Goldilocks zone.
The right dosage, volume, intensity, and type to actually drive adaptation.
â˘
Then we look at the other sideârecovery:
Sleep, nutrition, hydration, mindset, and TIME.
â˘
Are you actually recovering from everything youâre putting on your body or challenging it enough to drive change?
â˘
Because if one side is off, results will be too.
â˘
Take a look and letâs keep moving.
