How much is too much exercise? Some symptoms of overtraining are obvious, others not so much. Many women (myself included) mistake overtraining symptoms as a result of other things or ignore them all together thinking it's "normal." The most common symptoms of overtraining include: ▪️insomnia ▪️fatigue ▪️headaches ▪️weight gain, especially around midsection ▪️moodiness or irritability ▪️change in the menstrual cycle ▪️hair loss ▪️numbness or tingling in the hands or feet ▪️increase in perceived difficulty of workouts ▪️reduced motivation ▪️repeated injuries, body aches, and pains If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms and exercise regularly without many rest days, it’s possible that you’re experiencing overtraining syndrome. In this episode, I share my experience with overtraining and how I reversed it and moved on from it. For me, it came down to assessing my current workout (and nutrition) routine as well as taking a honest look at my lifestyle and eliminating as much stress as possible.
