Why are you repeating the same cycle

Train - Sick - Train - Injured - Train - Fatigued = What next Burnout?

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT TRAINING: WHY TWICE A WEEK IS ENOUGH

For the past four years I’ve been saying the same thing: you don’t need to train endlessly to get strong, healthy, and vital. What matters even more is what happens between the sessions — how you recover, how your posture supports energy flow, how you release the emotional weight you carry. If you’ve felt tired, stuck, or burned out despite “doing all the things,” then why don't you start by reducing your training by 50% and watch the weight / inflammation reduce within your mind, body and spirit .

The Great Fitness Deception

The dominant message in fitness is: “More is better. Push harder. Train more often.” But many people who follow that end up exhausted, tight, anxious — not stronger.
The hidden truth: Many aren’t “overtrained” in the classic sense — they’re under-recovered, disconnected from how their body truly regenerates.

Less is more! Stop chasing Endorphins!

Training Is Just the Spark — Recovery Is the Flame

When you train, you trigger a signal in your body: “Repair me. Grow stronger.” That adaptation only happens when you shift from sympathetic (fight/flight) to parasympathetic (rest/repair).
Without that phase, you stall. You remain in tension. Real progress happens in recovery.

“Training more often or harder doesn’t always yield better results — especially without adequate recovery.” (fitness.edu.au)
Guidelines say: “Two or three workouts per week produces the most muscle size and strength compared with fewer or more sessions.” (Harvard Health)

The Power of the 2-Day Rhythm

Here’s the structure that works:

• 2 Days – Intentional Training

  • Full-body movements, consciously executed

  • Grounded breathing through every rep

  • Focus on posture and energy flow, not endless volume

• 5 Days – Energetic Recovery

  • Walks, stretching, mobility

  • Breathwork, grounding in nature, nourishing sleep

  • Emotional release, stillness

Studies show that training each muscle group twice per week tends to be as effective as higher frequencies — especially when volume is managed. (University of New Mexico)
One meta-analysis: with volume equal, training frequency beyond 2 days per week did not always yield meaningful extra gains. (PubMed)

Posture: The Gateway to Energy Flow

Posture isn’t just aesthetic. It’s how your energy moves. When your spine aligns, breath is free, fascia relaxes — you open the channels for recovery and vitality.
When posture collapses — rounded shoulders, tilted pelvis, tight neck — you block flow. You carry tension. You drain your energy reservoir.
This is why so many fitness plans ignore the “how you hold yourself” part. But if the vessel is compromised, the energy won’t move properly.

Trauma, Emotion & The Body

Every unprocessed emotion — grief, anger, fear, shame — leaves a trace in your tissues. It shows up as tightness, mis-alignment, shallow breath, stuck energy.
You can train harder, but if the emotional system is unresolved you’ll keep repeating patterns of tension and fatigue.
Your body is an archive. To free it, you must move energy, release trauma, restore flow.
Studies on true overtraining show that when stress — physical, emotional, psychological — exceeds your capacity to recover, the system breaks down.

Why They Don’t Tell You This

Because the system profits from more — more sessions, more gear, more supplements, more hustle.
If you realised you could train smarter, recover deeper, and align your posture and energy to get better results with less, the whole model would collapse.
They sell effort — but what you need is awareness.
Because if you’ve got all the gear and no idea, you’re just pouring money into gimmicks that keep you stuck instead of healthy.

GYMS WILL BE MADE INTO RECOVERY CENTERS (I have been saying this for over 4 years)

The New Path: Training as Energy Work

True training is no longer just “how much you lift.” It’s how freely your energy moves through you and you understanding when to take a recovery day or week!
It’s awareness, rhythm, respect for your body’s intelligence.

Two days of training. Five days of mindful living. One lifetime of energy in motion. That’s not laziness. That’s evolution.

I bet if you followed this only for 1 week your body would change and you would feel energised.

Conclusion

If this message resonated, share it with someone who’s stuck in the grind.
Let’s bring awareness back to fitness — one breath, one session, one truth at a time.
Your posture, your energy, your emotions — they’re all speaking the same language. When they align, you don’t just look strong. You become whole.

Moral of the story

We are born nibble and supple, we die stiff and broken. You have a choice everyday when you wake up.
