Listening to Your Body: Preventing Overtraining

[TrainTitan]

Are you tuned into your body's signals? Avoid overtraining.
Signs of overtraining can include:

• Persistent fatigue and decreased performance
• Increased irritability, poor sleep, and loss of appetite
• Joint pain, prolonged muscle soreness, and increased illness

"Recovery is not just physical; it's mental and hormonal too."

What are your red flags for overtraining?

[Rachel Hunt]

For sure I totally agree...these are the signs that most beginners end up dealing with when they push too hard too soon. It’s easy to get caught up in the grind and ignore the warning signs but fatigue, poor performance and that constant soreness are big red flags. Your mood gets shot, sleep gets messed up and you might lose your appetite. Heart rate stays high too which is a sign you're overdoing it. If any of these pop up it’s a clear sign to chill out, recover and let your body bounce back.

Neglecting those signs can mess you up more than you think. It’s easy to get caught up in the grind and push through thinking you're being tough but if you’re constantly tired sore and not hitting your lifts like you should it’s a sign your body’s saying Bro Chill.Skipping recovery messes with your mood, sleep, and appetite plus your heart rate stays jacked. Over time that kinda neglect will put you in a hole where your progress stalls and you end up with injuries or burnout. Listen to your body recover properly and you’ll come back stronger pushing too hard too soon just isn’t worth it in the long run.
