The side effects of fitness training
I have been a huge fitness enthusiast for more than ten years now and I admit that I cannot live without fitness. I usually start my day with 30 or 40 minutes on the treadmill and only then I eat my healthy breakfast. After that I go to work and spend 8 horrible hours on my desk doing all kinds of mental exercises but no physical what so ever. I am sure that most of you will agree with me when I say that the only reasonable thing to do after work is to hit the gym and spend a healthy one or two ours sweating and getting rid of all the negative energy and stress. This is all very good, but, unfortunately there are some side effects of intensive fitness training and I want to discuss them with you in the next paragraph.
In general, fitness and any other physical activity improve your health and increase your energy levels significantly. However, going to the gym every day can have some side effects. If you train too often for too long your body will literally be in a catabolic state all the time. This means that your muscles will not be able to recover and you will end up feeling tired and even depressed. Fitness overdosing can also make your immune system more vulnerable and even worse, it can make you insomniac. Another really big side effect is the problems with your joints and back that can occur as a result of extensive exercising and what is even more common, completely wrong technique. I personally suffer from some really annoying knee problems and this is only because I had no idea how to warm up my joints and muscles before exercise in the past.
But there are a couple of things you may do. First of all make sure you rest enough. Healthy and nutritious diet is very, very important. Also, try to learn the proper technique for every single exercise you do. You can start with some fun manual handling training which is very effective as it teaches you some basic principles, which believe me you will need every time you lift, pull or push something. And please, try to spend at least 20 minutes warming up your body before you approach the heavy weights.
