While a boost of motivation is a good thing, there’s a point where intense workouts can have diminishing returns and maybe even harm your body. Four signs you may be overdoing it, according to a certified personal trainer:
When you begin a new workout routine, it can be tempting to hit the ground running and constantly work to push yourself to the next level. While a boost of motivation is a good thing, it’s also very possible that you could be doing too much. There’s a point where intense workouts can have diminishing returns, and maybe even harm your body.
This is an extreme example, but is a major indicator that you need to scale back and talk with a doctor about your routine. If you ever feel shortness of breath or chest pain while you’re working out, stop what you’re doing immediately and seek medical attention.Injuries are often the result of overtraining or muscle imbalances. When you have muscle imbalances this can alter your movement patterns to compensate and can lead to injury.
Get adequate sleep and recovery time. This is how our muscles are able to repair and grow back even stronger. Make sure that you’re including 1-2 days of full rest each week or restorative activities like yoga, stretching, walking, a nap, bath, anything that makes you feel replenished. Switch things up with alternate workout intensities. Make sure that you’re including a couple of low-impact or low intensity workouts each week like easy steady state cardio, swimming, cycling, yoga, barre, or Pilates.
