0 Overtraining? Give Yourself a Break.

How many of you love to exercise? Do you sacrifice sleep to hit the gym every day? That dedication is admirable; however, when you end up sleeping in through your alarm, your body is telling you something. A restful physical break is important and your body is telling you so. By taking a day or two or even a week off of your rigid schedule, that will only help you gain endurance for your next workout. Consider that extra hour of sleep, or take a slow walk, or simply lounge for pleasure. Over-exertion can only harm you, so pay attention to your body’s needs.
