Overtraining definition: constant intense training that does not provide adequate time for recovery.
Overtraining occurs when you ignore the preemptive signs and keep training through fatigue, soreness etc. Many people believe that poor training (feeling weak etc) means they have to train even harder, so they continue to push themselves. This only breaks down the body further. Full recovery from overtraining is difficult and can require weeks or even months off from working out — something that can be especially challenging for someone whose life revolves around their health and wellbeing.
You should gradually increase your training to allow your body to adapt to the training demands. We need time for the body to adapt and recover from session to session so that we can grow stronger and fitter.
Some physical signs to watch out for in overtraining
It is crucial to get plenty of rest to recover from intense training. It’s also important to follow a diet that includes adequate amounts of macronutrients, especially carbohydrates. Providing your body with nutrients and rest will ensure the muscles can repair and grow.
Make sure you schedule in time for rest and recovery, things like massage, sauna, an easy walk, a nap and even a day off here and there from your normal training regime will help you stop getting overtrained.
Leave the training up to us! We have the intensity of your sessions (daily, weekly and monthly) preplanned in stages—known as periodization, this will help prevent overtraining by allowing your body to recover, as your muscles recover during less intense periods of training.
