3. Overtraining (More Isn’t Always Better)
If you think training seven days a week will get you results faster, think again.
The Mistake: Overtraining leads to fatigue, weakened muscles, increased injury risk, and even hormonal imbalances. Your body grows when you rest, not when you train.
The Fix: Stick to a structured program that includes rest days and active recovery (walking, stretching, yoga). The sweet spot? 3–5 quality training days per week with proper sleep and nutrition to support recovery.
