If exercisers aren't careful it can be a fine line between overtraining and under training.

Being de-conditioned and then of course that’s you not doing anything to benefit yourself physically then you jump into a training regime then you go overboard and now all of a sudden we are over trained," said Kris Morrill, fitness coach.

Overtraining means your body used all its resources and wasn't able to complexly recover. A few common warning signs to tell if you're overtraining are: constant fatigue, being prone to injury and loss of appetite. If any of these happen, stop and get plenty of rest. 

“Not just a day, let’s take a few days, let your body get back to some form of normalcy, get your proper meals in everyday, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest,” said Morrill.

To prevent overtraining in the future, plan ahead.

“If you work out for three days straight give yourself a day off for rest let your body recover,” said Morrill.  “Get back acclimated to its normal state and they you can work out for another two to three days, give yourself a rest day then.”
