That depends on your individual physiology and it is something you will have ‘0 learn over time by moni- toring what seems to work best for you. However, if regular activity four or fewer days you are probably allowing the body ample recovery time between workouts. In that case you probably only need be cau- tious about sudden increases in the intensity of your workouts, such as increasing the amount of weight you use at the gym. Preventing Overtraining 1) Follow a hard-easy workout schedule. After a period of especially hard work (for your given fitness level), give your body an easier day. If your regular routine is a brisk, 45-minute walk every day, consider modifying that to include a brisk, one-hour walk two or three days per week, fol- lowed by an easier 25-35 minute walk on the alternate days. This may be especially helpful if you have been try- ing to pick up the pace on your walks but you feel you have reached a plateau. Both the physical and mental vari- ety should be a boost to your bod: ly. 2) Increase by only 10 per Rest an important part of fitness cent to 20 per cent per week. This assures that your body has time to respond to and keep up with the changes that harder workouts require. If you currently average 15 miles per week (five, three- mile walks), and you want to get up to 20 miles per week, think about adding a mile to Monday and Friday the first week; add a mile to Wednesday as well the next week; and in the third week, bring every day up to four miles for the 20 mile total. 3) Listen to your body. If you work out on a regular basis and your body is feel- ing general fatigue or a body part is unusually sore, it is time for a day of rest, or at least-a day of alternative activity. Your body will appreciate the chance to rebuild, and you will find the next day you will be ready to workout again. Laurie.
