What is the best exercise for ME?

It’s all about balance...

Time

5-6 Days a week
Longer and shorter workouts
Rest days
Consistency

Duration
A good workout routine is usually 5-6 days a week, mixing in longer workouts (1 hour or more) with shorter intervals (30 minutes or less)
1-2 rest days are needed, recovery and nutrition are EXTREMELY important for your body to strengthen, and overtraining can have negative consequences
Type
A good workout routine mixes both cardio and strength training, instead of primarily focusing on one
It’s always beneficial to stretch before going into any form of exercise because it lessens the risk of serious injury
https://www.shap
Recovery: sleep is hugeeee, eating the right foods are also crucial, and massaging muscles can also be very beneficial
At the end of the day it’s all about balance, but working out really depends on one’s goals
Provide some examples: a powerlifter probably isn’t too worried about being well rounded and having good cardio, so they will primarily focus on lifting and strength training
An olympic sprinter is probably more worried about their stamina, endurance, and speed (AKA cardio) than about how much they can bench press
Link at the bottom is to an ideal weekly workout routine for the average individual put together by fitness experts at SHAPE, ask students what they notice about this program, if they like it or not
