The term over-training is widely used across social media, where many try to debunk the myth of “over-training”. Claiming that it is nothing but a hoax. For some overtraining is just a myth that people have talked about for ages but have never been able to prove it. The term overtraining stems from the methodology of over working yourself and demanding too much of our bodies. Overtraining occurs when our bodies are not given sufficient time to rest, recover and rebuild damaged muscle tissue in the body. That, sadly, is not identified enough today. Hitting plateaus and not making progress for weeks on end is attributed to not working hard enough, resting too much, and not performing intense workouts. As a result of such a lapse in judgement, people tend to push themselves harder, and demand too much of their bodies leading to burn out and injuries.
