VKfit Workout Overview
Ideally, you should be resting 2 days per week. Whether you go 5 days on/2 days off, or 3 days on/1 day off/2 days on/1 day off, or any other combination, it doesn't matter. Just get in 2 days of rest every week. Otherwise, you will be overtraining your body, and the overload of stress will affect your sleep and immune system, which means you will be more susceptible to illness.
On the flip side, if you are not challenging yourself hard at least 3 days per week, then your body is in a state of decline. Redlining your body 3 days per week is the minimum for maintaining your current level of fitness. If you want to IMPROVE your fitness, then you need to increase that to 4 or 5 days per week (and your diet needs to match. More on diet next month, just in time for the holidays!). If you like, mix and match short and intense workouts with long endurance workouts. Just make sure you are making your body compete, whether it be for time, load, reps, score, etc.
For this blog, workouts will be posted on Sundays, Tuesdays (VKfit class), Thursdays, and Fridays; all else will be off-day/make-up days.
If this is not a rest day, you can use it as a make-up day and do a previous workout. Another option is to take a specific movement (e.g. push up, pull up, L-sit, etc.) - especially if it is something you are struggling with - and focus on the technique and form.
Compete!
