Overtraining Athlete Syndrome | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  •  
    Exercise and athletic training allow you to grow because of controlled stress to your body. When exercise is too frequent and intense, or you neglect recovery, overtraining syndrome occurs. When overtrained, your body can no longer recover from exercise-induced stress as easily, leading to poor performance and fatigue. To recover from overtraining, take a break, get some quality rest and eat a healthy diet. Stop training for a period of time. The required duration of rest depends on how long you have been overtraining. According to Dr. Mark Jenkins of Rice University, overtraining for a few weeks can be corrected by taking three to five days off. More severe overtraining may require a few weeks of rest for you to recover fully.

Too Much Exercise is Toxic To The Body | Fitness Contrarian - 0 views

  •  
    The goal of any well thought-out fitness program should be to create the exercise response you want in the least amount of time, while keeping hard work to a minimum. The whole idea is to be very efficient in how you train. You can be just as fit and have as high of a Vo2max. (Vo2max is a great indicator of how aerobically fit you are) as genetically possible by just doing a few short hard sprints a few times per week. Same goes for putting on muscle. All you really need is one hard work set per exercise to put on all the muscle your genetics will allow. The whole idea of eating a bunch of empty calories every day and then having to workout long and hard to keep your weight under control is just not worth the risk to your body. It's much smarter to control your weight with a healthy all natural diet and keep the hard workouts short and to a minimum.
