In fact, there are other dangers of over training too. They include high BP, poor appetite, insomnia, fatigue, irritability and more. Now, let us take a look at certain steps to be taken in order to avoid overtraining.
Nutrition
Food is what fuels your workouts, energises you and helps your recover. So, don't ignore food even if you lack appetite after intense workouts. Also, never ignore carbs as they are important if you are intensely training.
Allow Enough Recovery Time
If you feel too sore after a workout, wait till you recover before the next workout session. When you are young, you may recover faster but as you age, you might need more time. Listen to your body instead of blindly working out day after day.
Get More Sleep
A sore body needs peaceful sleep for 8 hours. If for any reason, you haven't slept well, skip the next day's workout but not your sleep.
Do Something Different
When certain intense workouts have made you sore, try something different and lighter that doesn't burden your system too much.
Occasionally, Get A Massage
As massage stimulates blood circulation and also relaxes muscles, get one after intense workouts so that you may unwind better.
Don't Work Out For Too Long
Keep your workout timings shorter instead of prolonging. Consult your gym coach and plan for better schedules that understand your body's capacities and limits.
Never Take Fatigue Easily
Fatigue is your body's way of saying it's enough. If you hear that signal, the only thing to do is slow down.
