But now it’s April and you might be losing motivation to make time for the gym, not seeing the same gains in your workout regimens, or feeling more fatigued during and between workouts. These are a couple of common signs of overtraining, which is a decrease or plateau in performance due to increased training volume and ineffective recovery periods.

Overtraining can cause significant issues if not recognized early and resolved. Some things you can do to help reboot your body include taking a break from the gym to recuperate. Reduce your work volume and intensity of your training program. Take care of your body by utilizing ice baths and heating pads to help you recover from workouts and improve circulation and new blood flow. Treat yourself to a massage to help relieve muscle tension, joint stress, and increase muscle flexibility. Split training workouts- balance the workload on muscle groups to different days so you are getting adequate amount of rest between workouts. Most importantly, make sure you are eating an appropriate diet that focuses on matching your caloric intake with your caloric expenditure. This will allow your body to recover more efficiently.
