Episode 2721:

Ramping up to two-a-day workouts might seem like a fast track to fitness gains, but Eric Leija emphasizes that quality over quantity is key. While light exercises like walking or yoga can be done safely alongside your regular routine, doubling up on intense sessions may lead to burnout and adrenal fatigue. Leija advises focusing on enhancing the quality of your workouts instead of simply increasing their frequency.

Quotes to ponder:

“Quality over quantity is the most important thing to remember regarding workouts."

"the body is an intricate biological machine, with reactions that aren’t always as straight forward as 1 + 1 = 2."

"If you’re not working out twice a day, what do you do to take things up a level?"
