]]> We can all acknowledge when you aren’t doing enough exercise, but are you aware when you are doing too much? Daily movement is really important but sometimes we overtrain, which can actually hinder our fitness goals. So, what exactly is the sweet spot?

For adults between the ages of 18-64, it is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio activity or 75 minutes of higher-intensity cardio activity per week, plus two to three resistance or strength training. If you regularly go to the gym then these recommendations might seem low to you, especially if you have a specific fitness goal you want to accomplish.

Figuring out what works for you means taking into consideration your age, nutrition, stress levels, and how much you sleep each night. It also means focusing on what you want to accomplish with your exercising routine, whether it is for muscle growth, weight loss, or cardio abilities.

If you work out daily without time to recover, you can put your body at risk and end up burning out. Overtraining is a common problem, especially once you start seeing results and you want to see more of them. Your body needs time to repair and recover, and if you are training every single day without good nutrition, sleep, and recovery time, you will not continue to see good results.

So how do you know if you’re exercising too much? You plateau and stop seeing progression or you actually start decreasing your level of fitness because your body isn’t given the time to recover. You also could start gaining weight— since your body is in constant stress mode, more cortisol is produced and can mess with your metabolism. Your muscles are always sore or your mood is affected—all of these are signs that you need to take a break.

]]> Have you been going to the gym for a while and been disappointed that you’re not seeing results? There’s nothing worse than spending tons of time and effort exercising and seeing no progress. If you’re going to the gym, you want to see that you’re getting something out of your workouts and no muscle growth could be a sign you’re doing something wrong. Here are three things that might be killing your gains.

No Long Term Plan

If you switch up the exercises too often and have no long-term focus, you won’t see gains. It turns out that doing the same workout over and over again builds strength and muscle more than switching it up. Stick to the same exercises and focus on progressing with more weight or reps over time.

Too Many Sets

While it may seem like doing more sets leads to more gains, there are just a certain number of sets that you need for a single session and anything above it can lead to injuries. Aim for no more than 10 sets per muscle group in one session.

Redundant Exercises

Make sure you’re making the most out of your time at the gym and choose your exercises wisely. Include exercises that are biomechanically different and challenge the muscles at different angles and ranges of motion.
