Over-Training


Most people are worried about getting enough exercise. But there are some people who forget to take a day off or put a goal before good health. Too much exercise or overtraining can lead to injuries, illness, and diminished performance.

How can you tell when you're doing too much? Here are some things to look for:

•washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
•mild leg soreness, general aches and pains
•sudden drop in performance
•insomnia
•headaches
•decreased immunity (more colds, sore throats, flu)
•decreased training capacity - drop in intensity
•moodiness and irritability
•loss of desire for sport/fitness
•decreased appetite
•increased incidence of injuries
•compulsive need to exercise
