As controversial as what physical training methods to use is the topic of physical training frequency.
Physical training frequency is how often you should physically train to get optimum performance improvements to reach your fitness training goals.
Let me first ask you a question...
Why do we participate in physical fitness training programs in the first place?
No, I'm not talking about all the benefits of exercise that we commonly hear or even the desire to look better.
I'm talking about what makes it necessary for us to add physical training into our daily lifestyle.
Why can't we just do without it?
For the answer, we must look back in time...
Early men and women did not have to add physical training to their lifestyle... because daily life was so demanding that it made extra physical activity unnecessary.
Our bodies were not only made to survive in this demanding world... but flourish in it.
The world has become considerably less demanding... but our bodies don't know that.
But what does all this have to do with physical training frequency?
Simply put...
If our bodies were made to adapt and flourish to a high level of activity in a demanding environment, and the environment that we currently live in no longer provides the stimulus necessary for this adaptation and flourishing, than our training must make up the difference.
OK, taking this into account... what do you think our physical training frequency should be?
That's right... our training frequency should be every day!
Oh, I know... Everybody has been brainwashed by the body building community and commercial fitness industry to believe that the best physical training frequency should be every other day, or 3 times a week.
Actually, depending on what type of muscle building program you are on... the recommended training frequency can even be less.
