Hard Trail or Easy Trail? Here’s how I decide.

Good Morning! Reader

​

For most of my life, my “recovery plan” was: push hard, hope for the best, and find out two days later whether I overdid it.

I’d be stiff and sore and really fatigued.

And sometimes the thought of working out made me cringe.

Sound familiar?

I used to think that was just what training looked like.

Grab your gear, go hard, do it again tomorrow — and if you’re wrecked for a few days, that’s just the price of staying in shape.

No pain no gain. Right?

​

That worked in my 40’s and early 50’s when I owned my gym. I’d train hard then run 6 Crossfit classes per day.

It was a lot but I still had some hormones and was able to handle the load.

That doesn’t happen anymore.

My body has changed a lot since then.

​In my new video, I walk through the 6 things I’d actually do if I needed to drop 30 lbs FAST and keep it off in midlife. ​

Real food, real training, nothing complicated.

But the one that surprises me most this time is #2:

RECOVERY

Not “rest more” in some vague way.

I mean actually knowing, before you train, whether your body’s ready to go hard or needs an easier day.

​

I used to just guess.

But training hard is in my nature and I would typically guess wrong.

​

That would set me up for a week of poor workouts and fatigue.

​

Now I don’t guess.

​

You see, If you aren’t adequately recovered, a hard workout can wreck a perfectly good recovery day and also wreck your next hard training day.

I also show the tool that changed this for me — the new Hume Band 2.0.

It’s genuinely become part of how I train, and you’ll see exactly how I use it in the video.

It not only gives me over 40 points of data that tells me what’s going on in my body and how I should train but it also shows me my metabolic age and you’ll see in the video what mine is ( hint it’s not 64!)

If you want to grab one, my audience gets an extra 20% off with code my promo code RUTHSHERIDAN — but it expires in 7 days, so no rush unless you’re actually serious about improving your health.

​You can check out the band Here​
