rkout facility before in their life. Its the reason most people don't see the gains they want, and give up after trying "so hard". It's what you should pay attention and AVOID to not just become one of them. It's the number one in "Weight Loss failures".It isn't hard to identify the source of the "beginners logic" that produces this approach - an outsider looking in assumes that shaping an athletic or muscle body is all about how much time you put in at the gym. When the average person encounters an impressive physique he will say, "Man, I bet he/she spend a lot of hours at the gym, every day."
The truth is that DIET, TRAINING and REST are all critically important to improve and maintain your body in a healthy good shape. What you should say when you encounter an impressive physique is, "Man, he/she works out, eats well AND provides the body with sufficient rest."
It is not easy to convince someone who is excited about training that he/she can over train. Give an enthusiastic beginner a workout schedule of 1 to 1.5 hours a day, 3 to 5 days a week, and he/she has the tendency to assume that you are being conservative, that you simply don't realize how determined he/she is and how hard he/she is willing to work. Usually they think that if doubling or tripling the schedule the results will come in the same proportion.
Body shaping does not work that way. You must understand the importance of rest to the muscle building process and the importance of rest to re-energize the body in order to exercise it again and actively participate on the burning fat process.
Overtraining Syndrome (OTS) or "Burn out" can be very dangerous, it is when the body becomes overwhelmed by the demands being placed on it. It's clinically recognized condition characterized by feelings of fatigue and depression, increased cortisol levels (stress hormone that breaks down muscle tissue) and decreased blood-glutamine, testosterone and DHEA levels among other indicators. Over training occurs when the body incurs more damage than it has the opportunity to repair and rebuild.
If you do not allow the body the opportunity to adequately repair its condition by enough rest, you will begin overtraining. OTS is a progressive condition. If you continue to train beyond the body's repair capabilities you will progress into an increased state of OTS.
Common signs of overtraining are getting sick and getting colds more often then normal, feeling tired all the time, muscle and eyelid twitches and decreases on achieving their fitness goals as weight loss or muscle response.
If you are experiencing any or of the above symptoms talk to a professional in the field, and probably you will be advised to slow down on your schedule on even to take a week off.
Then come up with a new workout schedule and routine that will NOT cause you to over train, consequently you will feel away better and the results will appears in a more healthy and pleasurable way.
