Over Training

[Alan Armstrong]

Over training or over doing it, has its consequences.

Improvements takes time, pushing oneself to the limit is expected.

Had to take a week off due to this issue.

Feeling ill and tired my body spoke without the need for words.

Trying to find the answer for being lethargic all made sense when looking back at my last two workouts.

My time outs are usually due to injuries but not damaging myself seriously enough has kept me on track without much of a break for many months.

Will be starting off next week of workouts with a little more caution.

On the up side, consequently has given me more time to post here on KF to Black Belt level.

Balance and moderation is the key to all things, workouts included.

How are your workouts going for you, have you ever over trained?

I have overtrained twice in my life and paid the consequences for it.

Yes, I too, have over trained!! Not a pretty thing; my body warned me, but did I listen to it?? NO!! Pride comes before the fall.

Trying to lose 111 pounds by this October, I've over trained from time to time. I know better, but still, I injure myself by not listening to my body!!

Keep up the good fight sensei8

For me over training isn't intelligent training.

Over training is over compensating due to insufficient training in the past.

Food/fuel needs to be looked at and balanced with training.

Food efficiency as in cutting out the unessentials is similar to martial arts philosophies.

Yes unessential foods consumed for the enjoyment shouldn't be discarded or banished from the dining table forever; these are after all comfort foods.

Just like friends that helped us out in the past so some foods should also be viewed this way; by keeping in contact but not letting them moving in to the house, by compromising your lifestyle.

Invite new food friends to the dining table that enhance your values and goals; I know vegatables aren't very good company while watching a movie but seeds, certain nuts or dried fruit are still very far from suffering.

Four fruits a day is recommend, these are better than anything found at a cinema food kiosk.

My second day back to class after a 6 month hiatus was a kick-heavy day. The morning after that, I went on a 4 mile hike and pushed myself. My legs were SORE for about 3 days. Oof.
