Your Muscles Never Have Time to Recover It's good to have goals, but make sure you're being good to yourself in your fitness endeavors. Your priority shouldn't be quantity of reps and hours put in at the gym, but rather form.
"Pushing your body too hard when it is fatigued is a major mistake," says Lauren Zoeller, a yoga instructor & CTA-certified life balance coach. "Try your best to take a moment to listen to your body before working out. If you are too fatigued from a workout the day before, take a rest day. Your body needs time to repair itself."
Rachel Piskin, a fitness instructor and the co-founder of ChaiseFitness, agrees. She says, "To see results you do not need to workout every day. In fact, if you do not give yourself the proper rest between workouts, you will start to compensate form and use your muscles improperly which brings on the risk of injury."
