Awareness of Overtraining

I hope you have had a positive week. Today I would like to talk to you about tiredness due to overtraining, or a lack of recovery between your training sessions; 
 
FACT:
 
Too much exercise will often cause micro trauma to muscles, and to the connective tissues. And without good recovery, areas of wear and tears become weak links and are more prone to injuries.
 
Signs of physical stress due to lack of recovery are:
Physical and mental agitation.
Irritability
Lack of sleep
Cramps
Palpitation
Mood swing
Lack of appetite
 
Clearly these signs are showing that your body is not recovering enough.You are accumulating stress.
 
What are the solutions?
Take a break, and get rid of the guilt if you don't train for a week..It is adding more stress to your life.
Don't wait until you feel tired. Skipping rest is the most common causes of overtraining injuries.
Used the periodisation method. Variations in the amount and intensity of exercises. Ask your trainer to help you.
Drink more water. If you are tired, you are probably also dehydrated.
Don't underestimate the power of recovery. In fact, it rejuvenates and consolidates the gains of exercises.
You need to find the right balance between training and recovering time. Listen to your body.
Look at your life. Are you working too much? How is your stress level?
This tips will help you to maximize your training gains while you are reducing the risk of over training.
 
Enjoy the long week end , have fun and get some rest.
