What is overtraining?

If somebody regularly trains over his capability, he becomes overtrained. Your system is then unable to rejuvenate itself: you must be wary of this situation, and take it seriously.

The most frequent features of overtraining are:
- General: low energy levels, chronic tiredness, loss of appetite;
- Mental signs: the lack of enthusiasm and concentration ability;
- Physical signs: tired, aching muscles, increased morning pulse and blood pressure.

The cure for overtraining is shortening the training time, reducing the intensity, with more relaxation and more sleep. In FitFive active, demanding exercises are followed by passive, stretching exercises so that there is time for your body to replenish itself.
