Another article on overtraining
http://www.precisionnutrition.com/are-you-overtraining
This topic seems to come up frequently here, so I thought it would be interesting. Can less be more? The most interesting part of this article is the graphic on how much time should be spent on each type of activity: strength, intervals, steady state cardio, fun activities. ETA: I left out most interesting "to me" in above comment. |

I received a Fitbit Charge HR for Xmas and my favorite thing about it is that I can use it to monitor my resting heartrate. A common sign of overtraining is an elevated resting heartrate, so when I start noticing my RHR creeping upward I know it's time to back off on the intensity.
