Is "MORE training = BETTER results" true?

MYTHBUSTER ALERT!

Is "MORE training = BETTER results" true?

FALSE

Chasing results? Aim for the minimum effective dose...not the max you can endure. Less can truly be more.

We're all about smart effort, not just hard effort.

Nope, it's not laziness! It's wisdom. Many push their limits, only to end up injured, exhausted, or discouraged.

Want sustainable results & a feel-good journey? We've got you!

Discovery Your Right Dose of Exercise

Hey fam...it's Brad Tillery! Let's shift perspectives for a moment.

We often juggle so much in life... trying to fit in that perfect workout routine. Ever felt like you're falling short if you're not "giving it your all" daily? We're surrounded by "GO BIG or GO HOME" and "NO PAIN/NO GAIN" chants.

But here's the twist. What if going 'all-out' isn't the key? What if doing LESS is MORE effective?

Introducing the magic of the MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE. Essentially, it's about making small, consistent changes to achieve maximum results. It's sustainable and doesn’t leave you feeling defeated.

Imagine this:

Fewer but effective workouts that truly align with your goals

Concise, potent sessions rather than long exhaustive ones

Embracing 3-4 key healthy habits that transform your life

Opting for healthy convenience foods, because let's be real, we can't always whip up a gourmet meal!

There’s a time and place for the "minimum effective dose" approach:

Overwhelmed days

Busy schedules

New beginnings or bouncing back

Post big events or recovery phases

The "right dose" varies—based on age, preferences, schedule, and more.

The goal? Fitness should empower, not drain. And YES, it can give tangible results.

Reach out to a coach to find your ideal rhythm.

The Last Supper Effect

RELATABLE STORY AHEAD!

Let’s say you decide it’s time to finally (re)start a healthy lifestyle, so you pick a date to begin. You’ve got it all planned out: You’ll work out, eat better, drink more water, go to bed early, and do all the things.

And before the big day gets here, you make sure you eat ALL your favorite foods …

Because you’re not going to be “allowed” to eat them once your new routine kicks in.

And you DO eat them.

There’s a name for that: Last Supper-ing.

And there are TWO BIG REASONS it gets in the way of your results!

FIRST, just on a practical basis, loading up on all your favorites can lead to weight gain, pushing you even farther from your goals — before you even get a chance to work on them.

But SECOND (and even more importantly), this kind of thinking helps cement an all-or-nothing attitude towards food.

That’s when you label some foods as “good” and others as “bad” — and it can make it almost impossible to stick with your routine because it’s not sustainable in the long term.

Example: what if your favorite food is pizza, and suddenly you 1) can’t have pizza and 2) don’t want to think about pizza?

The first thing you do is immediately start thinking about PIZZA, am I right?

And then you start craving it.

A better approach: finding a solution that works for you long-term and that actually INCLUDES your favorite foods (in moderation), so nothing is ever completely “off-limits.”
