693. The Biggest Mistakes Women Make With Exercise


Listen Later

More exercise isn't always better… it's HOW you exercise and WHEN you exercise that really matters.

Here are some mistakes that women make with exercise that end up making things WORSE:

Mistake #1: Over-Exercise If you're battling adrenal fatigue, pushing through intense workouts can backfire. Signs like lingering soreness or not getting stronger despite consistent effort mean your body is crying out for rest. Instead, try light yoga, walking, or gentle resistance training to support recovery.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Your Body's History Your past stressors matter. Trauma, major life transitions, and even positive stress like a dream move can impact your body's response to exercise. Your nervous system may interpret stress as a signal to escape—leaving you exhausted when you need energy most.

Mistake #3: Sticking to Exercise You Hate Not a fan of weightlifting? That's fine! Exercise is personal, so explore Pilates, barre, or small-group fitness classes. Find what excites you and connects you with others. Exercise should be enjoyable, not a chore.

Mistake #4: Exercising Without Guidance Not all workout plans are created equal. If your progress has stalled, it's time to understand what your body truly needs.

You don't need to work harder. You need to work smarter. Stop spinning your wheels. Reconnect with your body, understand what it needs, and start seeing real results.
