Determining That You Are Exercising Too Much

I am one of the many people who like exercising to stay fit. One problem is that I have gotten into it deeply that I am always told to stop exercising too much. It took me a lot of time before I could understand that I am exercising more than I am required. I found that to be very dangerous and would not wish to see another person endure the same. In this blog post, I will share some of the signs that helped me understand that I was exercising too much. You can draw some positives from them and also help you determine your exercising levels.

Soreness- now and then, my muscles would get sores and persistent pain that was very difficult going away. It could even take a week until I realized it was because of my exercising. It never hit my mind that I was overdoing the workouts until I decided to reduce the frequency. Everything returned to normalcy within a short period.

Lowered energy- I now know that when one exercises too much, the body becomes weak rather than strong. My energy levels started taking a dip and for a while I thought I was sick. I went for medical checkups but all diagnosis returned negative results. My doctor advised me to lower my training frequency and that is how I regained my normal energy level. The cause was over-training.

High blood pressure- many people assume that only old people suffer from high blood pressure but I can prove them wrong. Even young people fall victims to the same once they train too much. I never experienced this but studies have proven so. Strenuous workouts have a negative effect on one’s blood pressure.

Feeling guilty- you will always feel guilty of absconding your duty once you miss out on a single day to train. This is something I experienced and it had grave implications to my exercises. I used to train like three times in a day with little knowledge that I was overdoing it. It got into my system which found it difficult skipping even a single session. If that happens to you then be sure you are training excessively.

Mad at interference's- one time I got sick and was heavily depressed that it interfered with my training program. I thought it was normal for any person but later realized I was doing my training too much. It took the intervention of an expert to bring it to my attention that everything was not okay.

Obsession- if your mind is always thinking about training then it’s a sign that you are training too much. Such obsession is not normal and you need to take control of the situation early enough. Always take a rest from your training to think about other necessary issues.
