It isn’t how hard you train. It’s how well you rest. 78% of the US population is overweight. You can’t put a Band-Aid on a bullet hole. If you’re getting stress fractures, you’re overtraining. The more muscle you hold as you age, the better your metabolism will be. If your resting heart rate is 10% above average, you probably need a day off. Your immune system is the center of your aging process. Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Jim Lavalle.
