Let me tell you though, the plateau on top of the mountain is a breath of fresh air and a sigh of relief. It is the ‘this body ran five miles’ instead of the ‘this body ate 150 calories over’. It is laughing when it downpours during a walk instead of panicking to find a different way to burn 300 calories. And it is the recognition that nothing in the world can beat a good scoop of ice cream.

Hi everybody! My name is Allison and I am a 21-year-old Accounting student that is on a journey from being uncomfortable and self-conscious and insecure in her own skin to a woman who loves herself and her body.
I used to be in VERY good shape. When I was little, I did both dance and soccer and eventually played select soccer on an elite team and was very athletic. I did cross country in middle school, played a little bit of high school soccer and kept dance in my life through show choir from my sixth-grade year to my senior year of high school.
I started to gain weight in my sophomore year of high school and it hasn’t really stopped since. Sophomore year was a bad year for me; I went through 2 breakups, the death of my grandfather, my best friend moving away, and a severe concussion that…

Overtraining syndrome is a complex group of symptoms that is characterized by an athlete who has been training hard & suddenly experiences poor performance or burn out. OTS can lead to musculoskeletal injuries due to overuse. For example; muscle strains, sprains, tendinopathy, synovitis, bursitis, bruises & joint dysfunctions. High frequency and/or high intensity exercises performed for a long period of time produces excessive bouts of stress on the body. Overtraining is your body’s way of saying it is exhausted. It cannot cope with the psychological stress because your body has beens stressed for too long of a period. This syndrome can last for 6 months if you turn a blind eye to its symptoms.
Signs & Symptoms of Overtraining: - Decreased Performance - Fatigue - Loss of motivation - Feeling of depression/moodiness - Insomnia - Change in appetite - Nauseous - Decrease in body weight - Loss of Strength - Muscle Tenderness & coordination - Elevated Resting Heart Rate &/or- Headaches BP - Upper Respiratory - Overuse injuries InfectionsTreatment:
The best way to treat this is to properly plan out your fitness routine out. Using cyclical & periodization training is ideal. These training plans mean alternating heard, easy & moderate periods of training. For us lifters, this means scheduling a deload/unload/detraining week into your training program if it doesn’t already have one. (I will talk about deload/unload/detraining in another “Fit Tip” post). Make sure you are getting enough sleep! The average adult need 7 hours a sleep a night. Good nutrition! Make sure you are eating enough during the day. Don’t forget to hydrate! And of course listen to your body. Make sure you have at least one rest day a week!
