To Much of a Good Thing!
There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to your training, and overtraining is not a subject that I have talked about much.
I know, probably not what you want to hear—especially if you love hitting the gym, getting your sweat on, and are convinced it is the thing that will help you lean out and get stronger.
But here is the thing, you can overdo it… and it can cause more harm than good when it comes to staying healthy and reaching your goals.

One or two of the above factors can happen even if you’re not overexercising if you have a few tough workouts or extenuating life circumstances. But, if lots of these things pop up more often than not, it’s worth looking at your workout routine and asking yourself if there is room to dial it back.
So how much exercise should you get?
Everyone really is different—and working with a coach who gets to know your goals and body is definitely the way to go—but I generally recommend exercising (aka, hitting the gym, lifting, going for a run, etc.) 4-5x per week and staying relatively active on your rest days. Go for a walk or get in a stretch or low-key yoga class.
If you’re already training at that frequency but aren’t seeing the results you want, nutrition is probably the missing piece. Abs really are made in the kitchen. After all, exercise is only about 1-2 hours of your day, but meals and food choices take up the other 22-23! |
