What Is Overtraining?

Answer:

Most people these days are worried about getting enough exercise. But, there are plenty of people who may be getting a little too much. Too much exercise may lead to overtraining which can make you susceptible to injuries and illnesses.

Overtraining is defined as excessive volume, intensity, or both volume and intensity of training, resulting in fatigue, illness, injury and/or impaired performance. This can be alleviated by reducing the amount of training that you do, training at a less intense level, and/or getting some rest.
