Question:
Can I overdo it?
Answer:
Overdoing is a very different for different people. It depends on your fitness level, weight, on your daily routine, on your diet, etc. For example, if you go 4 times a week, but you work only half day in a calm environment, you eat a lot of fresh food and protein and you have been a regular visitor of the gym for the last year, then 4 times a week shouldn't count as overdoing. This means that your body will be able to handle the stress, so you won't feel particularly tired. On the other hand, if you're working 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, travelling 1 hour to work and back, coming home late, eating fast food most of the time and haven't been to the gym for the last 1 year (or more), then even 2 times a week might be too much for you. So, just play it by ear.
