How to know if you’re working out too much or too little.

Most Catholics are doing one of two things wrong in the gym. Here’s how to tell which one you are.

Training too much looks like:

• Joint pain that never fully goes away
• You’re tired all the time and but can’t sleep
• Mood crashes, irritability, low or momentum
• You dread workouts instead of wanting them
• Performance is going down despite more effort

Training too little looks like:

• You feel “soft” and fat no matter what you eat
• Low energy and brain fog are your baseline
• You don’t sleep as well as you should
• You’re stressed mentally, but never physically
• You talk about getting in shape more than you train

Here’s the truth

The body God gave you was built for ordered work. Not too much or too little.

Too much training can be prideful and controlling

Too little is sloth cosplaying as balance

The goal isn’t to destroy the temple or neglect it.
It’s to tend it. Intentionally and Consistently.

That’s what stewardship actually looks like.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?”
1 Cor 6:19
