Why is “be consistent” one of Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules? An article described what happens to you when you lay off the exercise for a period of time.
Main point: “…we become “unfit” much faster than it took us to actually get in shape.”
More about it:
- We lose aerobic capacity because “for the average person, V02 max falls sharply, back to pre-training levels, in less than eight weeks.”
- We also lose strength because “in the average person, 12 weeks without training causes a significant decrease in the amount of weight we can lift.”
Takeaway: Being consistent is another way of saying if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind.”
