Excessive Training

Excessive training is the one in which the amount, the intensity or both are increased too quickly without proper progression. Training too often or with too high an intensity level doesn’t help to improve conditioning or performance and can lead to chronic fatigue or overtraining. If you try to train too often (such as daily), the muscles can become chronically depleted of their energy. If you are constantly in the catabolic state of metabolism (the breaking down phase) through repeated training, your body can’t make any progress towards remodeling, repairing and conditioning. Therefore you have to make sure that your program is periodized and slowly progressive.

    I just wanted to say I like the new look and your exercise tips. You don’t need a lot of equipment to keep in shape. Keep up the good work.

    Hey

    How about if it is different parts of the body on different days, but you are training everyday? I would appreciate your advice.

    Thank you

    Which are the overtraining Symptoms?

    To G & Tatiana-

    When we push our bodies too far too fast (often in hopes to get better results faster), it works against our bodies. Many people don’t realize how important resting is for the body. Our muscles need time to repair the tears in the muscle fibers our exercise routines may have caused.

    G, it can be beneficial to train different parts of the body at different days. People who heavy lift often do splits, meaning they split up their routine to dedicate one day/week on one part of the body. Heavy lifters lift 3x-4x a week, which shows that rest is important in order to build muscle. However (this part is more directed to Tatiana), if you wanted to start a full body workout every day, you would start with less intensity and just build the intensity slowly so your body isn’t ‘shocked’ and has time to recover while you sleep (which is ALSO important). For example, I used to run for Cross Country every day, and we were taught to use the 10% rule when increasing our miles (20 miles this week, 22 miles the next, and so forth). That way, we could work up our mileage safely and not risk injury, which sets you back even more!

    I hope I helped answer your questions! Let me know if I need to clear anything up!

    Have a good one! :)

    Hi Zuzana,
    I have a question..
    I don’t get muscle soreness, but after few days work out in a row I get super tired, exhausted to be correct.
    Is that normal, or I’m not pushing my self enough? I’m loosing weight and my goal to burn fat and safe muscle that I might have:)

    thanks,

    Galina…

    I’m not too clear on this. I work out 5 days a week and take Saturday and Sunday off. I do your workouts daily for five days and in addition to that, run/walk for three of those days. I like my routine and I don’t feel exhausted. I’m not sure I understand if I shouldn’t be doing that or if I should be taking more breaks in-between. My schedule works very nicely for me because I get to take breaks when my husband is home and we can travel and do things as a family.
