Is training every day good or bad? In this article I will list some reasons why, if your personal trainer hasn’t told you about it at the gym, you need to worry about the frequency of your workouts, becoming good enough to know when you are overdoing it, and why not do it.

As always, let’s start with something that really happened to me in the gym I go to now. A girl and I make friends: in the locker room she explains her training program to me. She wants to lose weight, particularly in the legs and buttocks area (she is undoubtedly overweight), and before I tell her anything, she anticipates that some people have advised her against exercising every day, but she has decided to drop the advice. and do his own thing.

Now, doing your own thing in life isn’t always wrong. But it should happen when at least these three things occur:
– we have an exact idea of ​​what we want
– we are researching to know how to get it and in what time
frame – we are asking for the advice and help of experienced people, aiming for a comparison. In comparison, we will expose our doubts, even stupid ones. Experienced people will give us their opinion, and if we are a little intelligent we will take it into account.

Having said that, I replied to the girl that if some people had advised her not to train every day, if I had been her I would have followed the advice, basically telling her the things that I will now list to you. The girl did not follow the advice.
Three months time, here’s what happened.
1) Weight stall after an initial weight loss
2) Continuous tiredness, for which follows the fatigue training, takes long breaks, seems stressed
3) Evident demotivation, that if it continues like this, spring the gym for sure.
She took me aside to tell me that she doesn’t understand what she is doing wrong.

I repeated that the frequency of the training was wrong , and to ask the instructor. Did she listen to me? No.
Now I’ll explain what I said to her three months ago. What happens when you go to the gym every day. (Continued on page two) First of all, a necessary premise. (continued on page two)
