The Most Common Fat Loss Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)
1. Training Too Hard, Too Often
Pushing yourself every session might feel productive, but recovery drives progress.
If you’re constantly sore, sleeping badly, or feeling flat in the gym, you’re likely overtraining and under-recovering.
Fix:
Plan deloads every 4–6 weeks, manage intensity, and prioritise sleep.
Most people need 2–3 hard sessions per week — not six.
