To Sara: “I work out 7 days a week and my weight loss progress has come to a hault. I’m frustrated that I’m no longer getting results and am not sure what to do different. I do 40 min. of cardio 7 X per week + lift light weights 4 X per week.”
From Sara: “It sounds like you are over training. When you work your muscles too often your muscles don’t have time to recoperate and thus won’t develop as much muscle tone as they would if they had a couple of days of rest. Try cutting down your workouts to 3-5 X per week of cardio w/ 2-3 X per week of weight training. Also try mixing up your routine. Incorporate yoga and/or pilates instead of one of your regular workouts. You’ll be happily surprised that you can workout less and get better results!”
