Physical exercise is crucial for weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and a calorie deficit. Many people often wonder if you should go to the gym every day.

Professional fitness coach Viktor Mandziak provided an exclusive comment for RBC-Ukraine on this question.

Can you go to the gym every day?

The expert said that going to the gym daily is possible, but in such cases, the volume of work needs to be reduced to avoid overtraining.

"Physical activity must be dosed," Viktor explained.

Advantages of gym workouts

Gym workouts offer several benefits:

Variety of equipment

Gyms usually have a wide selection of equipment for different muscle groups and types of training. This allows for an enriched training program and the ability to change up routines to achieve various fitness goals.

Safety

Most machines with adjustable load details have built-in safety mechanisms. This makes it safer to train compared to using free weights or other training methods.

Comfort

Gyms are often equipped with air conditioning, showers, toilets, and other amenities, making workouts more comfortable regardless of weather conditions or time of day.

Instructor support

Many gyms offer professional instructor services, who can help create personalized training programs, monitor exercise techniques, and provide advice on proper nutrition.

Social aspect

The gym can be a place for social interaction and meeting people who share a common interest in a healthy lifestyle and fitness.

Motivation

Visiting the gym can be a motivator for regular workouts, as you are surrounded by others who are working on their fitness.
