For years I’ve been struggling with weight loss and have found little to no success. I would drop 10 to 15 pounds only to gain back 20.

Overtraining is a serious issue that is now getting a lot of attention. Failure to monitor your bodily responses during heavy exercise programs can diminish the quality of its ultimate return.

Overtraining, training too hard for too long, can provide the groundwork for depression, lack of energy, staleness, and eventual burnout, which will hinder you from reaching your goals. Failure to pace your training, by having intervening rest phase, can lead to a flat and stale performance.
