Overtraining occurs when you train your body beyond its ability to recover. If your body cannot recover from the last workout then it will be unable to adapt and improve. Symptoms of overtraining include:
1. A higher-than-normal resting pulse
2. Illnesses become more frequent and last longer than usual
3. Muscle spasms while resting
4. Shaky hands
5. Loss of sleep
6. Loss of appetite
7. Unexpected and unexplained fatigue or soreness
8. Unintended weight loss
9. Very slow, non-existent or loss of gains in the gym
10. Declining libido
Solution: If you are overtraining on your current routine, first take a few days or a week off to let your body recover, then cut back on the level of volume and/or intensity that led to the overtraining. Different choices of exercises and cross training would also be welcome changes to your body.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Upper Table Rock Run and a Chest Workout
After taking care of some business earlier in the morning, I made time for a good Upper Table Rock run....I was definitely feeling more energetic than yesterday!
Later, I did a workout of BB bench presses, DB flye/press supersets and decline pushups.
