Myth: More gym time is better. Fact: Scheduling in rest days is crucial, stresses Los Angeles-based celebrity trainer Ashley Borden. Your body needs to recover, especially after a tough session. If you work out every single day, you could injure yourself or overtrain, which keeps your muscles from rebounding and your body from improving. Thats true even if youre just a casual gymgoer. So be sure to take regular breaks, whether its every other day (if youre a beginner) or once a week (for the advanced). And keep your workout varied! If you dont mix things up, Valerie Waters, personal trainer to Jennifer Garner, warns, doing the same training pattern can lead to injuries.
