Plateau

Sclason

Questions: Not sure what to do anymore... Stuck and not moving.....Super frustrated...Just feeling lost. I currently lift weights 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes each time and cardio 30 minutes 2 times a week... Plus yoyo dieting that leaves me tired!!
How many calories should I be eating?
Low carb/low calories/em2wl?
How long should I be lifting weights and how often?
How much cardio should I be doing and for how long?

I would strongly recommend checking out EM2WL, especially if you're yo-yo dieting. Make sure to read all the stickies at the top first. It's an awesome group.

And this is what I think

2. You're working too hard.
Yes, you can actually work out too hard and too much. If you're someone who goes all out in every workout, or rarely to never takes a day off to rest, you could actually be breaking your muscles down instead of building them. If you always feel tired and sore, have unexplained headaches, insomnia or just a general lack of motivation and an inability to complete your workouts, you may be overtraining.
Get-Results Remedy: Take three to five days off of exercise altogether. It may be hard for you to do this, but know that you must allow your body the time it needs to rest and recover. Get plenty of sleep each night and fill up on nutritious foods. Then slowly ease back into your routine, making shorter, less intense workouts part of your workout plan. And remember to always take one to two rest or easy active recovery days a week!

TY for your help. I will definatly look into to the EM2WL.... It is very hard for me to take days off. Once I do I don't like to start back up. Just not exactly sure what Ishould be doing anymore since my current regimens are not working at all
