Is today a good day to work out?
Posted by admin

I came across this nice article on eliteFTS describing a simple test that anyone can use to determine whether a day is good for working out or not. Basically you are testing your central nervous systems (CNS) responsiveness by tapping as fast as possible and recording the number of taps within a given time.
A google search suggests that 10 seconds is a good starting point. By recording the number of taps over time and checking wheter your tap rate is slower or faster than the average you should be able to find out wheter you have a fresh and ready CNS for training. The test is supposed to be a good starting point to plan your training. I will definitely check it out.
Please leave a comment if you have experiences with the finger tap test. I’m interested in learning about user experiences.
