Working out...facts, fiction, and rules to follow

I am definitely a self proclaimed workout queen! I love working out. It is such a part of my life that there is a noticeable difference when I am not working out for any extended period of time (uh...grouchy and STRESSED much?!). I will be the first to admit that there was a time in my life when I worked out TOO MUCH. What is that you say? There is such a thing as working out too much? Oh yes my friends, this is very true. I have collected a few articles on the do's and don't's of working out and how to tell if you are working out too much.

The first article I came across talks about the do's and don't's of exercise from beginners to fitness freaks. I think that the most important thing that you can take away from this is that finding balance and listening to your body are vital to success when it comes to an injury free workout career.

The second article that I came across talks about the warning signs of overexercising. I think that EVERYONE from beginners to fitness fanatics (ESPECIALLY fitness fanatics) need to read this article. It's so easy to get caught up in workouts and not notice what your body is telling you.

This article is one of my favorite articles! I am definitely more prone to cardio. Getting into a strength routine is really tough for me. I have always had trouble with this aspect of fitness because I have this weird thought that if I am not sweating my butt off, it's not workin ha. This is a go to article for me to remind myself how important strength training really is.
