3. Modify Your Training Schedule

Include more breaks in your training program. This will allow your body to recover and you will not get overtrained in the future.

Ask your personal trainer to recommend a new training program that suits your current fitness level and needs.

If you have been on a complete rest from your exercise program for over two weeks, they will advise you on changing up your exercise sessions as necessary.

4. Reduce Stress

During rest periods, make sure that you reduce stress and negative thoughts. Stress can affect your performance and lead to overtraining.

It is important that you find time for yourself and for relaxation. You can do this by taking a walk, going to the movies or reading a book.

Stress levels are also affected by sleep patterns. Try to go to bed at the same time each night, even during your training period. Make sure that you don’t stay up late on your computer or watch TV.
