Labor training does not always bring the expected results. Many people still regularly go to the gym every day but still fall into a state of stagnation, fatigue and mental decline.
According to fitness trainer Alex, who is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the problem may not lie in intensity or effort, but in the timing of your exercise.
Fitness trainer Alex has listed the 6 worst times to work out, times when the body is not really ready to endure more pressure.
Alex warned that exercising at these times not only reduces performance but also prolongs recovery, slowing down physical improvement.
Rehearsal after a party
Alcohol causes serious dehydration and requires time to detoxify. Alex emphasized that in this state of physiological fatigue, exercise is counterproductive.
Your body is recovering from alcohol, not building muscle, the coach advised getting enough sleep, supplementing with water and electrolytes before returning to the dumbbell.
Exercise in the morning when the body is used to exercising at night
The body works according to a familiar circadian rhythm and if you try to break a stable exercise schedule, your performance will decrease sharply.
Practice immediately after a well-prepared meal
After a large meal, the body prioritizes digestion, causing blood to flow to the stomach instead of the muscles. This makes the training session heavy, slow and ineffective.
When you don't get enough sleep
Only sleeping for three hours and trying to exercise with caffeine will cause hormonal disorders and the body will be exhausted. Sleep is associated with strength and benefit in building muscle.
When you don't eat enough
Pre-workout drinks cannot replace real meals. The body needs carbs and protein to create sustained energy throughout the workout.
When you are sick
If you only have a minor nasal congestion, you can still exercise. But when there is a fever, chest tightness, and whole body pain, the body needs to rest. Exercising at this time only weakens the immune system.
