Pushing The Limits vs. Overtraining

There is a very fine line between the two.

You must push your limits to get results. But you must also not push so far and hard that your body cannot keep up. This will result in overtraining.

So how do you tell if you are pushing your limits or if you are pushing too far?

If you are pushing your limits you will be looking forward to your workouts, feeling good the day after (possibly a little sore, but thats fine), and not be dragging all day long.

If you are pushing to far and beginning to overtrain. You will not feel rested and strong prior to and during your workouts. You will feel lathargic on your off days, and your joints will begin to ache.

Again the the bottom line is the same a yesterdays post. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

What is your body telling you?
