Rest Day

#restdays are important but are subjective and unique to each person,

Some athletes have higher recovery levels and listed below are a few symptoms that #restandrecovery is seriously needed whereas some of us are fine with #activerestdays

The key take away here is that you should listen to your body!

Overtraining symptoms are diverse and different for each person, but here are a few symptoms you should watch out for:

-Depression
-Loss of appetite
-Severe fatigue
-Slower healing & longer recovery times
-Changes in mood and ability to focus or concentrate
-Amenorrhea : Missed or very irregular periods
-Aches & pains : particularly of the joints
-Depressed immune system : increased chance of catching colds and other infections
-Changes in performance : if you find yourself moving slower, lifting less than you're normally able to, having to take more rest breaks and generally not push yourself as hard as you normally do, you could be overtraining.
