Recovery days are key to preventing overtraining. Overtraining syndrome isn’t well defined, and exercise physiologists don’t have a good way to measure it. But if you’re increasing your training and not seeing improvements, this could be one indication.

To reap the benefits of training, our body needs recovery time for adaptation processes to fully express themselves. Most good coaches and trainers will incorporate a recovery session after all high-intensity sessions and include one “off day” per week.

How can you tell if you’re overtraining? Dr. Benjamin Len Levine, a true legend in the field of exercise physiology, has the answer...

In this video, Ben & Rhonda discuss:
