Menu: Tools to Maintain a Consistent Exercise Program<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest of them all and the last in this series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To <\/a>stay motivated for the long haul you have to schedule in some down time too. Professional athletes all have an off season where they give their bodies and minds a chance to recover and set goals for the next season. This way when it\u2019s time to take on a new challenge you are rested and ready to give it your all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it is easier, more fun and I end up in better shape if I take some time a few times a year, usually after a big race to recover so I am ready for the next round. If I just train all the time , it is too easy to get in a rut and make no real progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Jana and I starting the \u201cOff Season\u201d the morning after I finished Ironman Hawaii.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an Ironman I take a good month where I don\u2019t stop working out completely but scale it way back, before I start pushing it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you found some of these tools helpful, and please reply if you have any thing else that helps you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
