Preventing burnout

[LilBunnyRabbit]

Anyone here got any ideas for how to avoid burnout, other than resting?

Here's the situation. Over the past three months or so I've been training in class pretty much daily for an hour and a half, three hours some days. Then I've been doing the same at home or at the gym for two-to three more hours. I woke up this morning and felt like I was going to fall apart. Any suggestions?

no suggestions jimmy....it's same for everyone...just remeber that pretty chick in class(or in park in my case ;)) ..u'll be up in no time :) :D :p

Engaged already, so that pretty chick in class would cause more trouble than she's worth.

As for burnouts, I believe time takes care of it.

Nice article, very helpful and I've printed myself off a copy, but I was referring to physical rather than mental burnout.

[ladyhawk]

LOL! I have an extensive collection.
Someone will say or ask something that jogs my memory of articles I've read a long time ago
but sometimes I have trouble finding the one I'm looking for.

Use common sense and listen to your body.
Yeah, I know, as we get older it tends to complain more. LOL!

[LilBunnyRabbit]

But I'm only nineteen, I'm not old enough to be old! :(

[TkdWarrior]

yea i thought the same too ckd...physical burnout... but still those methods can be used too...
i m the one who changes training techniques once too often..so i know...it always burn out then trying new things helps..

Keep your focus because girls have a way of using subtle (and not so subtle)
distraction to our advantage. All's fair in love and war!
Well, it's been fun guys but I'm off to train.

Try concentrating on different muscle groups on different nights. Good to give muscles a couple of days recovery after a good workout. Such as lower body, one night, upper body the next, then the next maybe concentrate on technique without any intesive muslce workouts. Just some rough ideas....

Physical burnout eh? I normally chill out in me mates spa for an hour or two, pop round another mates for a free massage and eat multivitimins, healthy diet and rest for 2 days...but thats probably cos I'm so old :(
