However, the harder she trains, the harder it becomes to succeed. (2:45) Vinnie (and other coaches she has hired) has told her she's training too hard. She needs to focus on what she's doing when she's *not* in the game. (14:00) He uses his own training history as an example. Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00) Training with a planned "down" schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00) The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45) It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50) Vinnie's workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts. What should people be doing on their "rest" days? (37:00) Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is "active rest." Mobility exercises are an option as well. Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don't want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00) Vinnie advises what to do on your "off" days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00) You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace. Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00) He explains what a "four by four" is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).
