After decades in the fitness industry working with thousands of people, it’s no mystery that most of them simply want to look good, move well, and have energy for their day to day lives. But they’ve fallen into the trap of believing that more intensity means better results.
Since the popularity of functional fitness exploded, tons of people fell in love with challenging, heart-pumping workouts that are never the same two days in a row. And they felt fitter and got some results – to a point.
But after the noob gains ended, many were left scratching their heads and wondering, “Why am I crushing myself with these workouts, and I still don’t look the way I want?”
Maybe they’ve been mistaken about the idea of what conditioning work is supposed to do. Lift weights to build muscle and look sexy, do conditioning work for heart health and endurance.
But hold up. Without the right approach, your conditioning work could be sabotaging your efforts to look good.
