There's also a relationship with nutrition people have to understand that applies to the right dose too.

I was just having a conversation with my niece and, you know, she's been running mass 15 for a while and, you know, she wants to do more and she's already stepping, you know, 10,000 steps a day.

So she's actively moving and stuff like that, but she feels like she needs to do more weight training.

So you're at, she's at 1800 calories right now.

And I'm like, we need to be able to increase your caloric intake to support you doing more strength training.

So there's also that factor too.

There's the right dose just basically off of what you should probably be doing for your body with stress and sleep and all the other factors.

But nutrition plays a role too.

There's been a lot of times where somebody may feel physically capable to do more volume and do more exercises, but then they're not feeding their body properly enough to get enough adequate recovery for all of those exercises.

Totally.

They're barely feeding enough to recover from those one or two exercises, much less seven or eight that they're trying to do.

And so they're doing so much more work and they're not feeding their body properly.

So the right dose also applies to their nutrition balance also.

It's so funny how we really or clearly understand this with all other adaptations or skills that we try and learn, yet we fail to understand it when it comes to exercise.

Like name another skill or adaptation that we pursue that people don't understand that.

yeah that we know that we we know that small frequent doses is the is the better approach than these long hard bouts at it like name another thing will it be tanning your skin in the sun learning a language playing basketball like name a thing yeah name a thing that we don't already know that with but yet we seem to fail to apply it correctly to exercise we

Isn't that interesting?

So I think this all stems from the law of thermodynamics.

I think the messaging around calories in versus calories out is what sent everybody down this path.

Yeah, just burn calories.
