If you have been keeping with your New Year's Resolutions and hitting the gym every day, just remember that the body needs time to recover from intense workouts. To avoid burnout take at least one rest day a week. An easy walk will still burn calories but will give the muscles a much needed rest. If you are strength training you need to rest 48 hours in between workouts, unless you alternate upper and lower body days.
Great work if you are keeping up with your resolutions. With spring here you can enjoy the benefits of showing off those shapely legs and arms you have worked so hard to get. It's never to late to start a workout program. At any age a strength training program can benefit the bones and make the activities of daily living that much easier.
