Episode description
Not sure if you’re doing too much in the gym? Then this episode is for you! During this podcast episode I explore the 7 main signs of overtraining and provide practical insights into recognizing and addressing these effects. I use my own journey and relationship with fitness to highlight the impact overtraining has on your physical and mental health. I emphasize the importance of strategizing rest and recovery and how to take a balanced approach to your workout’s frequency and intensity. I wrap up the episode with the three steps to take, providing any of the 7 signs stood out to you.
Key Takeaways:
- Overtraining often accompanies undereating, hindering the body's ability to recover.
- Normal soreness is expected but extended soreness indicates overtraining
- Recognize what sign or symptom popped out to you and act accordingly
- Your workouts should leave you feeling energized and not like a zombie
- Rest days or active recovery days should be strategically planned throughout your regimen
- Calculate your current intensity and then scale it back
