Quoting from the article: > When I look at training, it’s either we are green or we are red. If we are green, we are walking, we are doing mobility. We are doing low, low-threshold aerobic work.’ > >When training shifts into the red zone, the approach is very different. ‘We are sending it. We are lifting heavy. We are carrying heavy. We are pushing heavy,’ > >{most people are} not doing enough to stress the nervous system, but they’re doing too much to allow their body to recover. So it’s either we are green or we are red. We don’t spend time in the middle.’ This reminds me of the [[Heart Rate Zones]] "No man's land" that my brother in law talked about. This makes a lot of sense. You're either *going*, or you're *not*. Half-going is a terrible strategy. ![[Pasted image 20260106213153.png]] **** # More ## Source - Former Navy SEAL  [DJ Shipley](https://www.instagram.com/dj_shipley85/) via [Men's Health](https://www.menshealth.com/uk/building-muscle/train-smarter/a69914218/training-mistakes-men-over-50/)
