-
- Being unable to perform at the same level
- Needing longer periods of rest
- Feeling tired
- Being depressed
- Having mood swings or irritability
- Having trouble sleeping
- Feeling sore muscles or heavy limbs
- Getting overuse injuries
- Losing motivation
- Getting more colds
- Losing weight
- Feeling anxiety
If you have been exercising a lot and have any of these symptoms, cut back on exercise or rest completely for 1 or 2 weeks. Often, this is all it takes to recover.If you are still tired after 1 or 2 weeks of rest, see your health care provider. You may need to keep resting or dial back your workouts for a month or longer. Your provider can help you decide how and when it is safe to start exercising again.

Poem of the Day ~ The Want of You
The Want of You
Angela Weld Grimke
A hint of gold where the moon will be;
Through the flocking clouds just a star or two;
Leaf sounds, soft and wet and hushed,
And oh! the crying want of you.
Positive Thought of the Day ~ Jump into the Day
“Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
We have a choice each morning we open our eyes. We can choose to jump into the day and give it all we have or we can drag our butts through the day wishing the day away. Healthy people choose the former wishing there were more than 24 hours in the day. These are the folks that find happiness in the challenges and they’re always looking for the next adventure. Here’s hoping you jump into the day and take on your next great adventure.
