I run 2 miles on the treadmill and then I use weights and machines for my legs and then do crunches with a medicine ball.

It's the same thing everyday though...is that bad??

YES! Try to change it up......do 2 muscles 3 different days a week....

Like chest/Shoulders

Triceps/Biceps/Back

Legs/Back

Then do cardio 3-5 times a week and switch that up, too!

If you do the same routine and muscles everyday, your body gets used to it, and it's not gonna react the same way after it gets to know the routine, etc....it'll do less work to get that routine done.....

You're right that the muscles "get used" to always doing the same workout, but that's irrelevant when you're doing the same workout every day. The main problem in that case is that your muscles never get a chance to heal and get stronger -- you just keep breaking them down and breaking them down and breaking them down and...

temptschick, you are overtraining and getting tired is your body's way of letting you know.
