Are you working out too much? 😅
I get it, you want results FAST. But sometimes, doing more isn’t the answer. Let me tell you why!
A lot of my clients come to me working out 6-7 days a week with little rest—think two-a-days, intense workouts, and not enough recovery. And you know what? More often than not, I actually scale back their training, and guess what happens? They start losing weight!
Here’s why: when your body is constantly stressed from too much exercise, your cortisol (stress hormone) levels go through the roof, signaling your body to hold onto fat. 😩 Add in hunger hormones, and you’re stuck in a cycle of over-exercising and overeating.
💡 The sweet spot? 3-4 strength training sessions a week. Just enough to get your heart rate up, burn fat, and build muscle—without overdoing it.
But strength training isn’t just about getting toned, it’s also about feeling GOOD. It boosts metabolism, improves bone health, and even helps with mental health! Plus, it keeps you from feeling hungry after your workout (unlike long cardio sessions).
You don’t need to work out ALL the time to see results—less can really be more when it comes to fitness.
