What is overtraining? 

Overtraining happens when we don't allow enough rest time for our body to recover. 

Signs of overtraining can include but are not limited too: feeling exhausted, not thinking straight, foggy memory, seeing no progress on workouts, not loosing weight/gaining weight, joints hurt, feeling crappy....

Working harder, and getting in more WOD's isn't always a good thing.....

Why? 

WOD's and strength training are very taxing on the body, they demand a lot of fuel from us. If we aren't used to that type of output it can be much more damaging than good. Listen to your body and give it rest when it needs it. Rest, recover.....

What does it mean to recover? 

Recovering isn't just sitting at home on the couch, doing nothing....recovering is something we need to be doing 24/7! How? 

1. Give your body the fuel it needs: HEALTHY FOOD and PLENTY of water. We don't preach these two things for no reason guys....They completely 100% affect your WOD's, your strength lifts and your recovery time! 

2. Mobility work: use the rollers, bands, balls....stretch, work those muscles out!

3. SLEEP. This is HUGE. Our bodies repair while we sleep and we also function 100% better with a full nights rest. All of these things that we DON'T do that we SHOULD be doing are placing stresses upon the body. The more stress factors that we have, the less progress we are going to see. 

Supplements:

Here are a few things that help with recovery along with sleep, rest days, and good nutrition.

Vit D3

Fish Oil

Glutamine
