David Goggins is one of the most popular bodybuilders in the world today—specifically because of his incredible journey from being overweight to a world-class athlete. He’s inspired so many people to follow their fitness dreams and perhaps he’ll inspire you too with the following tip. While appearing on popular talk show host and comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast, he had a piece of advice that was so brilliant, and yet so simple.
Less is More
We’ve all heard the saying that less is more, but Goggins framed it in such a way that applies very well to staying consistent with workouts. He spoke about the importance of not “overdoing it” when it comes to workouts. According to him, there’s no point in going all out one day if it’ll burn you out down the line.
Are You Enjoying It?
The key aspect of working out is the enjoyment factor. You need to find the perfect balance where you’re actually enjoying your workouts—because then you’re going to want to come back for more! Is it better to do 15 push-ups five times a week or 30 push-ups once a week? Consistency is key, and the best way to do that is to keep quantities low until we’re ready and willing to up the ante.
