You may be surprised, but sometimes, temporarily giving up exercise is beneficial.
When a person quickly tries to switch from an inactive lifestyle to an active rhythm without preparing his body, he does not even realize the risk. That is why it is necessary to have a professional (fitness instructor, dance teacher, sports activity specialist, etc.) choose the training program, diet, or intensity of exercise.
If you still decide to exercise on your own for a number of reasons, keep in mind the golden rule - do not overload your body in the first week, warm up your muscles before exercise and relax/cool down at the end, temporarily stop the activity at the first discomfort.
Unfortunately, many of us want to get the desired shape quickly and in a short time, which often leads to negative results and exceeds the limit.
Anyone can be affected by overtraining, and it's not just a problem for athletes. Doctors call this condition overexertion of the body and note that in such cases there is a risk of many complications.
Symptoms of body overload are:
- Strong fatigue;
- Loss of energy;
- Chronic cold, frequent morbidity with infections and other diseases;
- Insomnia;
- Weight gain;
- Decrease in vital force;
- Interruption of the cycle.
