Do you have rest days?

[archiz]

ok little backup:
Thursday I had 2h intense swimming
Saturday before noon I trained 2h with a coach swimming and core and squats exercices
then Saturday afternoon I had 1h tennis
Sunday I ran 7k
now aftermath:
I barely can walk and going down the stairs is agony XD

I am supposed to have swimming today again but I am so tired. my coach said I should come regardless and at least do easy.
and tomorrow my other coach said sore or not he s gonna train me the same way XD
but shouldn t I have a limit to rest? or this is better to push through XD

You can't perform at your peak in anything if you are tired or physically fatigued. Your muscles won't have that quick reaction or bounce or power when they are taxed. Also, with your differing activities such as swimming as opposed to tennis, you're using different muscles. So, you are working your body OVERALL and I don't think your body has enough time to rest. This regiment will burn calories and lean you out really quick. It's mostly aerobic activities as well so you are definitely fatiguing your body faster. I used to play basketball, then football, then tennis now and then, then a bit of running for gym and/or cycling. I had so much energy before, but man was I tired for school or like going out. Always a tad sore as well.

You have to give your body time to rest. One way, if you don't want to just lay around, is change up your activities alternating with aerobic to anaerobic activities. So maybe, instead of running one day or tennis, do some weight lifting with lower reps and more muscle. Or, like maybe climbing or like yoga or something where you build more than burn. In this, then you're concentrating on the larger muscle groups and building POWER. It makes everything WAY more easier and you can compete better with POWER. You have the stamina, it definitely shows. But the POWER will help you overpower your opponents in tennis with huge ground strokes/serves, and volleying is easier to get stiffer volleys. With swimming, the water resistance will be that much less of an issue when stroking. Although, you don't want to bulk up too much. More lean muscle. Even running is a bit easier with more powerful legs. But again, don't want to bulk up too much. You get too heavy then.

But at least, take more breaks before switching activities. Or take a weekend off and then do your weekly routine. You keep taxing the muscles, they don't have time to recover and won't be at peak at any time, they'll just sort of weaken.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
thanks great feedback and I agree. my coach said I have the stamina but I need more power like you said,
And I am trying to eat more to compensate for the cardio since I am already lean enough

[MrMysteryMan]

Yeah no problem. Also, your coaches (if you have a different coach for every sport), they don't really care about your other sport. They may say they do or care about your schedule, but they are only concerned about how well you are doing for them. Remember this. So it's up to you to schedule in your proper rest. They'll burn you to the ground between them if you're not careful. So take time for you. Even just going out with friends or movies or chillin with family is nice and it helps you to focus more when you're taking a break outside of your sports worlds. A lot of athletes forget about this important aspect. Being mentally ready for your training/competitions. This involves getting your head outside the game sometimes just to give your mind a rest from constant competition and training in that environment. So it's good to get away in a sense. Rest your mind and you can be that much more precise and alert in when you compete.

[MrMysteryMan]

Also, it's naughty, but sex (of any sort) helps as well. Makes the body and mind relaxed. Why do you think Tiger Woods was soooooo good at golf before he got outed. Trust me, it's a great mental release.

[archiz]

got ya :)

[archiz]

I am still a virgin so masturbating it is :P

[MrMysteryMan]

LOL awesome. Probably better for you too sine you are so busy.

[Hans222]

Were all of these practice sessions agreed with your coach?
Or have you done some at your own initiative?
My feeling says that for example doing 2 hours of swimming in the morning and an hour of tennis in the afternoon may be too hard on your arms and shoulders.
And since that came on top of an intense swimming training on Thursday it sounds like the effort too much :o
Plus, the short and intense running of tennis after the swimming, plus the running on Sunday, may also have been too much.
So I wonder if it was a coach who made you do all that?
I always take breaks between efforts and I can cope pretty well :D

[archiz]

no I train with different coaches so it s a bit on my own cs they don t always know what I did before haha.
the coach of tennis is different from my swimming coach in univ and different than my coach for gym and swimming (I got another one)

[Hans222]

Yeah, that explains a lot... it will be up to you to hit the brake from time to time than :D
Hope you've recovered a bit in the meantime?

[archiz]

nooo XD
I still didn t rest
tomorrow I ll take a break

[Hans222]

That's a good idea :D
I know how you feel...

[Smmyskittles]

Yessss.

I've cut back to 5 days. I have one of my 2 cardio days on a strength day (chest/back). :P

It's hard because you want to workout all the time. On my days off, I honestly feel like a lazy bum. haha. It's good for you though. Trust me, love. ;*

[archiz]

thanks :)

[Puppylove94]

Yeah I'm trying to take 2 now... it works actually. A friend noticed I lost weight last night 💁🏼

[archiz]

but you re already skinny :p

[Puppylove94]

hahah i used to be skinnier.. i liked myself better like that so im just losing a bit of weight.

[archiz]

what s your weight?

[Puppylove94]

right now its 140. i want to get back to 130

[archiz]

ah I thought you were skinnier :o
I am 110lbs but I am shorter though

[Puppylove94]

haha well i have a lot of muscle mass. ill send you a pic of when i was 130 through pm. i look skinnier than what my weight is

[mits777]

How many times per week do you train? Rest days are a MUST! for any workout protocol and for anyone. With the routine that you have posted here you will lose a lot of weight lol and I don't think that is what you want. If you want to get toned and good shapes ass back etc you need to change the routine.

[archiz]

but I wanna get more competitive in swimming I have to train that much now and tennis is cause I like it.
It s just this week was a bit harder because I had to run this Sunday.
but usually I have Monday and Thursday 2h swimming
and tursday or Wednesday depends and Saturday trainign swimming and gym and I try to fit in 1h of tennis at least in the week.
I don t have much time with univ XD

[mits777]

I see so you want to become competitive at swimming, ok that makes sense now, otherwise it was a useless routine for general body toning and getting good shapes. Still I recommend you 2-3 days rest per week. Try swimming Monday and Thursday (more rest between 2 swimming sessions). On Wesday you can do core legs and core squat abs etc and on Sunday tenis. Then you can run on Saturday if you want but I wouldn't run any week that much. You will lose lot of weight with this routine, unless you eat a lot.

[archiz]

some dates are sort off appointed and they fit my schedule like that
I am not gonna run 7k every week XD
I am trying to eat a LOT
but mehh hahaha

[mits777]

haha I know that it is hard to eat a lot, my stomach gets full very fast too and with my routine I need to eat a lot to not lose muscles. I do this by eating about 7 times small meals per day.

[archiz]

hmm look today I had for breakfast nescafe and a nutella sandwich :P
then after 3h I had a avocado and strawberry cocktail and cheese sandwich
then 2h later I had a salad and paella again (leftovers)
I mean... you can t eat more than that XD

[mits777]

lol are you kdding can't eat more then that :P. So far you have eaten nothing at all, what will you eat until you sleep lol? Also if you workout sandwitch with Nutella will gain you fat and not muscle. In morning you have to eat something like oatmeals with honey, egg etc to gain protein fibers and carbs and not just sugar (Nutella lol).

[archiz]

hehehehe :P

[archiz]

dunno lol :P
I was thinking nutella again :p

[mits777]

With your training you will burn anything even stones lol hahaha you train too much and eat too little, but the best food for healthy athletes/fitness enthusiast is oatmeal egg and banana for morning. You get a lot of protein carbohydrates and fibers since the morning which means that your muscles won't starve for a long time (until 1-2 pm depending on when you eat the morning breakfast). Also that kind of food helps you recover, Nutella has very few protein but I know it is tasty :P. Anyway give it a try keep going with whatever diet you look, if you feel tired or like your muscles aren't recovering I can give you a proper diet.

[archiz]

nooo I am always tired and my iron level is below average XD
give a proper diet please! XD

[zorro8888]

Yeah lol it's good for you, lets your body reset and recover from damage
Just hide away from your coach lol

[archiz]

I hear ya lol

[Jan1ssary_]

This chick is tough damn :D Meh.. just nevermind them I have so many rest days like it was today.

I usually workout 1 day then have a rest, then workout again. It goes like this its enough if you at least workout like 3 days in week.

[archiz]

not that much lol

[Avery18]

Mwafa2a habibte😂😂😂😂
I work out 6 days a week, and i knw what you're feeling! 😂😂

[archiz]

[archiz]

[Anonymous]

naw u just need to go get laid.. Best part of waking up is.. wait nm can't make that work without getting creepy anyhow it works for me lol #guesswho

[archiz]

what does that have to do with my question

[Opinion Owner]

Well... sex is known to be the natural cure all duh...

[Saoirse_Nua]

Do as your coach says do some loosening up exercises today , it will be easier for you tomorrow then talk about your program with your coaches and inbuild rest days rather than going hard, recover, go hard again.

[felchiq]

Everyone should have a rest day. Get some rest. It's not good to always push yourself too much if you're that sore. 😨

[Autumn-Bunny]

Yes... kind of debating whether I should have a rest day rn. I'm so tired.

[archiz]

what did you do

[Autumn-Bunny]

Stayed up really late last night

[archiz]

tsk tsk tsk :P

[SoFeckinAddicted]

Rest day Is a good thing. Id go rest in the pool ;) it's a good muscle relaxer.

[archiz]

not with the coach screaming in my ears lmfao

[SoFeckinAddicted]

Tell him to stfu

[archiz]

lmfao sure XD

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

You have to listen to your body sometimes.
Rest days are essential for recovery and health.
I surprised your coach doesn't understand lol.

If I were you I would take a rest day.

[Cmasterson]

I always make sure I have rest days as I want my body to be able to heal.

[Elarra]

Yeah but I'm cutting them out. I work out for 4 days and then one rest day turns into a rest week.

[ThisDudeHere]

I usually rest on Saturday and Sunday. Tho that doesn't exclude going outside for a jog.

[TuMeManques]

I rest every Sunday at a minimum. About 2 times a year I take rest weeks.

[BoobMan]

Stretch! And yes, definitely rest and make sure you're getting enough sleep and water.

[Decentguy]

not before, but now i do, but on my rest days, i practice my drill from my MMA class

[disgustingweebtrash]

Yeah, you're supposed to have rest days to let your muscles repair themselves and get stronger.

[Flow_like_the_wind]

Rest days are important. I need to let my body recover or I'm gonna breakdown lol.

[Anonymous]

I didn't get up till 1:00 today i think that counts as a rest day?

[Anonymous]

Yes I think they are necessary to rest and let your body rebuild.

Work out hard and then rest and fap to a hot woman on your rest day. Best combo.

[4465loveyou5577]

Not now that Trump one.

[archiz]

hahaha

[SlightlyCrazy]

Well I guess as long as you don't hurt yourself. Your a savage

[msg812]
