What follows is a tidbit of advice for those who need to lose a little weight.
Those who are in good shape yet struggle to maintain their desired degree of leanness may also find it beneficial.
Here it is:
I generally recommend lifting in the evening.
Why?
Vigorous weightlifting sessions place tremendous stress on the body.
Doubly so when you are training in the manner I generally prescribe (full body sessions built around “big” multi-joint movements like squats and overhead presses).
Consequently, they make you Very Hungry Indeed.
Something I know very well because I occasionally have to train on Saturday morning and find I am driven wild with hunger by early afternoon and more often than not end up putting away a monstrous amount of food.
As it’s only one day and doesn’t happen every week, this does no damage to my physique. But I know for a fact that were I to train in the mornings regularly I would find maintaining a healthy amount of body fat an insurmountable task.
By contrast, when you train in the evening you cannot shovel food down your gullet like a plus-size model on a diet because it’s impossible to eat when you are asleep.
For more nuggets such as this, get aboard “The Christmas Survival Guide”.
It is a 14-day email course that will equip you with the needful to make sure you don’t fall off the wagon over the festive period.
There are no guarantees, of course.
A fact that will hopefully deter people who like the idea of being strong and in shape but aren’t prepared to do anything meaningful about it.
