Episode notes
Choose What You’ll Actually Do
- Choose the exercise you will actually do consistently and avoid overthinking a single “best” movement.
- Match frequency and exercise selection to your lifestyle so you can sustain training long-term.

- Overtraining usually reflects insufficient recovery, not just too much exercise.
- Check fueling, sleep, and life stress before blaming your workouts.
