The majority of us are fully aware how detrimental over-training when exercising can be to us in body and in mind. The lack of recovery ,on top of the excessive physical stress we apply from us either lifting weights and/or engaging in cardiovascular activities, is the main cause we think of for hitting that ‘wall’ and in some cases actually regress in our progress to reaching that peak of physical excellence.
The usual suspect symptoms, to name but a few one might look for, would be : d
- Reduced strength and stamina
- Decreased appetite
- Chronic fatigue
- Lack of motivation and focus
- Insomnia
- Increased blood pressure and resting pulse rate
But current studies have shown that elements outside our training are also connected with the main causes of overtraining.
