Exercising too much

Over my 30+ years of being in the fitness industry, one of the most common mistakes i notice all the time is how many people i see over doing it ( over-training ) as they try to get in shape. What makes this even more alarming is the fact that most people have very poor eating habits so they don't recover well after they exercise. Over-training is caused by constantly pushing oneself during workouts day after day with out days off to recuperate. Like i also said, people don't eat well to replace their energy and repair muscle breakdown. As one pushes themselves, they need food to replace what they have lost.


I see individuals doing the same workouts all the time until they cause an injury and they lose motivation to continue with an exercise program.


The old saying goes like this, "we first must crawl before we walk".


You have to be able to design an exercise program that helps you get results and not be a chore or burden.
No one should be exercising more than 4-5 days a week. If you are, and your feeling burned out and not seeing results, then your over-training.


Everyone thinks their going to get in shape after just one week of exercise. This is a journey, not a sprint.
learning to moderately workout with a proper meal plan will get anyone results. Those who decide to beat themselves up in the gym without knowing what they are doing are heading for failure after failure-guaranteed.


Get with a trainer and do a little research yourself if your serious about changing your body and health, its the only way to succeed.

P.S.- Over- train, never gain results           Over -train, injuries will pop up and remain

          Over- train, drop out of exercise program and waste your gym membership
