Overtraining is performing more exercise than your body can recover from before before your next training session. Your body needs to recover and recharge before your next workout.
having one of the symPtoms shown below doesn't mean you're in overtraining state, but having two or more should be a warning. The cure for overtraining is simple - rest! This doesn't mean simply reducing the intensity of your workout, but rather avoiding the gym altogether. When a person is overtrained, even a walk or light weight workout can prevent recovery.
You should take one week off from exercise for every week that you are in overtrained state. Stay aware to avoid overtraining in the first place. Pay close attention to your body's warning signals and ease back on your training if you start to experience any of symptoms mentioned here.

- LACK OF MOTIVATION DURING WORKOUTS
- CHRONIC FATIGUE
- NO PROGRESS
