Too much exercise or at too intense of a level, can leave you drained, and worse, at risk of injury. Overtraining occurs when a person partakes in too much physical training with too little rest and recovery after hard workouts.
What happens if you over workout everyday?
Working out daily can lead to injuries, fatigue, and burnout. All of these things can cause you to abandon your fitness program altogether. Start slowly, and gradually increase the duration and intensity of any new exercise routine.
What are the signs of overtraining?
Symptoms and warning signs of overtraining
- Unusual muscle soreness after a workout, which persists with continued training.
- Inability to train or compete at a previously manageable level.
- "Heavy" leg muscles, even at lower exercise intensities.
- Delays in recovery from training.
- Performance plateaus or declines.
