Overtraining is something we often hear about in fitness magazines but rarely ever experience.

Many of us will feel sore or exhausted after a workout, but are these feelings actually overtraining?

In most cases what people think is overtraining is actually under conditioning.

In other words, you’re just not strong enough or have enough endurance for the workout you attempted.

True overtraining is a state where you have completely pushed your body beyond it’s limits and you break down physically and mentally. The feeling is similar to having the flu, and in fact you can get sick in a true state of overtraining.

In today’s audio lesson we’ll discuss the difference between true over training and simply pushing too hard at a given workout.

You’ll learn what the real signs of over training are and how to know when you’re really approaching it and when you’re just sore from a good workout.

There is more diet and fitness information available today than there every has been, but that doesn’t mean more people are actually getting into good shape than ever before. In fact the more ‘information’ you read about diet and fitness the less likely you are to actually take any action on it and start seeing any results.

This is called “analysis paralysis”.

Getting caught up reading all the different marketing angles and claims about diet and fitness can quickly leave you in a paralyzed state with no idea what direction to go.

The first step to changing your body (or making any real change in your life) is to take action, ANY action at all.

The biggest hurdle is getting off of the sidelines and into the game. Once you’ve started to take action you will have a much better idea of where you next steps should be.

In todays audio lesson we’ll talk about:

Why taking any action no matter how simple it is will produce far better results than trying to ‘educate’ yourself in any given field

Why inaction produces more in action and how you can quickly become paralyzed.

Why reading more and doing less is a recipe for failure.

Why inaction leads to asking the wrong questions with lead you further away from the truth rather than closer.

How taking positive action brings forth the right mindset and the a clearer vision of what is necessary to succeed.
