Training Tripod

Fitness Tripod 

Hello guys, so I m starting this new blog on fitness. I will be posting content related to physical fitness every week. If you have any question in particular drop a comment below. Thanks!!

We all know the importance of fitness. And especially in today’s world it is even more relevant. Irrespective of gender and age fitness is equally important to all. Lot of us does something or the other for physical fitness. Some does strength training, some play sports, some of do yoga and many does just walking. But whatever the activity is lot of us fails to reach our goals.

    There are many reasons for achieving goals. However there is three common mistakes and we are also ignorant towards it. To understand this lets first understand the concept of fitness tripod. Fitness tripod is three legged tripod which includes Training (progressive overload), rest & recovery and Nutrition. Many of us tend to focus on one of these factors. And ignore other two. There is also a saying that it’s   “70% nutrition and 30% training”. This according to me is not true. It is actually 100% of all three factors. If you ignore any one leg of this tripod you are not going to reach your goals. Chances are you will make it even worse and might risk yourself for more fatigue, injuries and might also loose muscle.

e.g.  There are many young lads who workout for 2-3 hours a day in the gyms. Even athlete will feel jealous of their workouts. But still most of them never reach their goals. Reason is they never take their nutrition and recovery seriously. Either the sleep cycles are disturbed or the nutrition timings or quality is compromised. Sometimes both of them.

So to progress in any type of physical fitness goal all three factors are equally important. These factors never change irrespective of your goal. Weather to gain muscle, to lose fat, to increase cardio endurance.
