More exercise is not better and usually leads to overtraining. Symptoms
include fatigue, increased susceptibility to illness and injuries,
insomnia, general aches and pains, depression, irritability, and
headaches.
Attitude, performance, hypertrophy and strength gains also slide.
Overtraining raises cortisol levels, further catabolizing muscle tissue
and raising body fat levels. The body may become calorie deficient, adding
to muscle tissue breakdown.
Over time, decreases in fitness levels occur. Overtraining is common in
fitness enthusiasts and athletes, and can lead to compulsive exercising.
To help avoid overtraining, progress training levels gradually. If you're
stiff and sore the next day, you went too hard too soon. Even in this day
and age the prevailing, perhaps unspoken "wisdom" is still "No pain, no
gain". Pain equals drain not gain!
We're meant to move at moderate levels with short bursts of speed and/or
power as needed. We're still the same beings physically as we were 200,000
years ago. Our ancestors most certainly did not jog around gathering food.
We sprinted during the hunt and had to do some heavy lifting post hunt to
bring the bacon home.
Training too long and hard stimulates the sympathetic nervous (fight or
flight) system and is catabolic. This will compromise the body's ability
to recover between sessions and fight off infections.
Eat enough nutritionally dense calories! This is one of the hardest
concepts for women, in particular, to get their minds around. Our bodies
require about 60 calories an hour per pound of body weight to function
lying still listening to music. We need plenty of high quality protein,
fat and carb (not grains) sources so the millions of our body's cells that
die every second are rebuilt from good "material".
When we train too hard and don't eat enough nutritionally dense food, the
adrenals wash every cell in cortisol. That's OK in small doses, but
prolonged exercise sessions on top of calorie restrictive diets made up of
fake food signals starvation with too much movement.
That's a crisis!
Your body has no idea you're trying to be healthy or get "fit" in a 6 week
boot camp. The harder you train and more calories you cut, the more
stressed the body is, the more it eats itself. The more your hormones are
out of whack the more fat storing hormones are released to keep fat on for
the body as fuel.
Hydrate with enough pure water! Gatorade does not replace electrolytes; it
hops the body up on sugar and high fructose corn syrup and refined sodium
chloride. A pinch of unprocessed Celtic sea salt in that water will supply
the body with the trace minerals it needs and allows the water to better
permeate the cell walls.
Get adequate rest between training sessions! Fatigue and pain (the body's
idiot light) are signals that we need to back off, not tough it out to get
stronger. This really archaic thinking simply won't get anyone to the
levels they want to get to.
Low levels of exercise during rest time, known as "active recovery", can
help recover between sessions. Training intensities which don't require
open mouth breathing stimulate the parasympathetic system, which is
anabolic (builds up) in nature.
Unless all the aspects of your lifestyle (nutrition, hydration,
work/relationship stressors and rest cycles) are optimal 80% of the time,
moderate exercise is best for those of us who aren't professional or elite
level competitors.
Most of elite competitors are over trained and ill nourished. If that
isn't the case, why do so many die young and compete chronically injured?
Fitness and wellness should be sensible, fun and invigorating, not a test
of how far we can go for how long on the least amount of good food.
