Exercising more and gaining weight is very common.
Running streaks to marathons to training twice a day.
It is confusing when you are putting all your hard work into your training and you are not getting anywhere.
We could be going around in circles.
The difficulty that I have faced before and also my clients, is we feel more is better!
But it’s actually not!
We think that by exercising more is helping as it is putting you in a deficit but there is a big problem when we are chasing energy balance.
Overtraining affects a number of things
❌Cravings will start to build over time meaning you may want to consume more.
❌Stress levels can be increased which can impact sleep pattern.
❌Recovery from sessions then aims to reduce performance which then has a return on how many calories you may burn
❌Injuries can be increased leaving you out then for even longer.
As part of my lifestyle and fitness method is about training smart and relating exercise to a specific fat loss goal.
✅We measure sleep, stress, cravings, exercise frequency and intensity.
Because they play a key role to your success.
What’s your experience with training?
