The more you exercise the more weight you lose, right? WRONG!
Over-training is one of the main reasons why many people hit plateaus.
This applies to training of all kinds, whether it be weight loss,
strength gains, etc. This can sometimes even have an adverse effect on
the body resulting in weight gain or loss of strength.
So how do you make sure your not over-training? One way, is to ensure that your body is receiving sufficient rest. Some of you might have heard the expression--oftentimes used in bodybuilding--your results come from outside the gym. That statement applies to any exercise program, not just in bodybuilding, so when your trying to bulk up, lose weight, or train for a triathlon, rest becomes one of your main concerns.
Your body needs to recover and you can only let that happen if you get sufficient rest. This means getting a good nights sleep but also it means understanding when your body needs a day to recharge. So don't be afraid to take a day off during the week, it can actually help more than you think.
How often do you train? Are you getting enough rest?
