If I tone my muscles everyday, is that still overtraining?!


Question:

If I tone my muscles everyday, is that still overtraining?

I use a resistance band to try and tone my arms everyday. I keep going until it really hurts or when I'm tired, then I'm done, then maybe I'll do it again later. I read that I should exercise every otherday. I have no recovery day because I need to tighten my arms, especially my triceps (hella loose). Thanks!


Answers:

You need a day or more of rest. When you train, your muscles break down, therefore you need a rest period for your muscles to recuperate. When your muscle tissues rebuild, they regenerate more muscle tissue than you previously had--therefore you'll get stronger and have more toned muscle! That's why you need a time (like a day or two) were your muscles aren't training and are just rebuilding, making you get more muscle mass=toned. But keep up the good work and I hope you reach you goal--especially on those triceps! <3
