Get enough rest.
Being properly rested will help you maintain sufficient energy
throughout the day, making you less likely to overeat and less prone to
injury during physical activity.
- Rest at least 24 to 48 hours between strength training sessions on the same muscle group (for instance, work out your biceps and abs on alternating days), and take one to two days off from exercising each week.
- Know how much sleep you need, since sleep deficiency impairs your ability to lose fat.
