Too much of a good thing?

Exercise is good for you, yes we are always ranting and raving about it.  A little exercise a day keeps the doctor more than an arm-length away, too much exercise however may force you into moving in with the doctor permanently, because sometimes more.....is just that - more.

There comes a point of diminishing returns or a point where your body yells at the top of it's lungs. enough! 

Exersice should rejuvinate you, not give you constant pains and aches, exhaustion and fatigue in higher doses than energy benefits.

Are you overtraining? it is important to recognize the signs of over training 

1. decreased performance

2. loss of coordination

3. prolonged recovery

4. elevated morning heart rate

5. headaches

6. loss of appetite

7. muscle soreness/ tenderness

8. decreased ability to ward off infection

9. irratability/moodswings/depression

10. eemoional sensitivity/ low self esteem

There, you have it, too much of a good thing can turn into sour bile.

Keep in mind, the body is constantly talking to you, approach exersice safely, keep moderation in mind, you want to get there, slow but sure take time to recover, adjust and adapt. overtraining is simply taking one step forward, several steps back, not very wise huh?
