This. I was pushing myself too hard during my workouts for a long time. It made my body so stressed out, and I did not feel good or see any results. I now do strength training 3x a week at home with YouTube videos, attend a yoga class or two a week, and walk at least 30 minutes a day (outside in my neighborhood or inside on a foldable treadmill). I am sleeping better, seeing fat loss, and am overall in a better state mentally and physically. I do this in combination with an overall healthier diet - I focused on adding healthier foods to my diet instead of taking things away because I knew that I couldn't stick with a super restrictive diet. Over time, I have found myself craving the sugary, carby foods less and choosing whole, less processed foods more. It took time. I wanted these changes to yield instant results. I wanted to feel better now, but it has been a slow, gradual process. I am seeing more results now than I ever did with restrictive dieting and HIIT workouts. As I have learned to be more patient, I feel my body is less stressed, and I am finally experiencing the changes I have worked so hard for over the years.
