We all understand how important exercise is for the body, mind, and spirit. What many do not realize is that if you are chronically ill, injured, sleep-deprived, on a caloric restrictive diet, it’s possible for you to be overtraining at a much lower level of physical activity. The consequences can have a profound impact on your overall health and wellbeing.
From the competitive runner, cyclist, exercise enthusiast that does CrossFit, weight training, high-intensity interval training, or the weekend warrior participating in a Tough Mudder all are at potential risk for overtraining.
It doesn’t take much to be on a downward spiral. It is estimated that 61% of all serious runners go through a period of overtraining in their career.
Increase Performance
Keep your body optimized to perform at peak levels for longer periods of time without becoming fatigued.
Decrease Recovery Time
Stimulate proper healing quicker so your body rejuvenates and is ready to go sooner than ever.
Avoid Injuries
Stay healthy and avoid common injuries that hold back performance and keep you from competing at a high level.
The key to recovery is to reduce or stop anything more than moderate physical activity for some time. How long depends on symptoms severity and how long you’ve been overtraining. Focus on gentle activities for recovery such as walking in nature, yoga, or massage. Address any underlying stress-induced HPA-Axis dysregulation, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, nutrient depletion, hormone imbalances, and oxidative stress. Get plenty of sleep and nap during the day. Ensure you do not restrict calories or diet once overtrained. Your body needs an adequate supply of macronutrients especially protein and micronutrients.
What is Overtraining Syndrome / Burnout?
Overtraining syndrome occurs when an athlete doesn’t adequately recover after repetitive intense training, and can include fatigue, declining performance and potential injury. It’s admirable to train hard to succeed in your chosen sport. Logging many miles, spending hours at the gym and working hard day after day can certainly help you achieve your athletic goals. But too much training without sufficient recovery can hinder your progress — and even lead to a decline in your performance.
There are two classifications for too much exercise: overreaching and overtraining.
Overreaching is muscle soreness above and beyond what you typically experience that occurs when you don’t sufficiently recover between workouts. Overreaching usually happens after several consecutive days of hard training and results in feeling run down. Luckily, the effects of overreaching can be easily reversed with rest.
Overtraining occurs when an athlete ignores the signs of overreaching and continues to train. Many athletes believe that weakness or poor performance signals the need for even harder training, so they continue to push themselves. This only breaks down the body further.
Symptoms and warning signs of overtraining
It may be hard to know when you’re overtraining. “It’s natural and expected to feel fatigued after challenging training sessions,” Dr. Goolsby says. “But feeling like you aren’t recovering between sessions or experiencing overall fatigue and difficulty pushing yourself during workouts can be indicators of overtraining.”
Training-related signs of overtraining
Unusual muscle soreness after a workout, which persists with continued training
Inability to train or compete at a previously manageable level
“Heavy” leg muscles, even at lower exercise intensities
Delays in recovery from training
Performance plateaus or declines
Thoughts of skipping or cutting short training sessions
Lifestyle-related signs of overtraining
Prolonged general fatigue
Increase in tension, depression, anger or confusion
Inability to relax
Poor-quality sleep
Lack of energy, decreased motivation, moodiness
Not feeling joy from things that were once enjoyable

He asistido a 24 consultas con este quiropráctico y he visto grandes mejoras. Antes no podía dormir del lado donde tuve una herida en la cabeza, y ahora eso ha mejorado mucho. Además, puedo estirarme más y mi cuerpo se siente mucho más cómodo y alineado.<br><br>La cama se siente más con mis piernas dobladas, aunque no es lo correcto, pero me ayudó mucho también!<br><br>El personal es muy amable y respetuoso, y el Dr. es profesional y atento. Las consultas son breves, alrededor de 5 minutos, pero para mí funcionaron excelente. Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera que busque un cuidado eficaz y con un trato cordial.<br><br>Atte: Bizzell
Excellent experience at Cornejo Chiropractic. Dr. Cornejo took the time to truly listen and explain the root cause of the issue, I walked out feeling lighter and much more mobile. The office atmosphere is professional and very welcoming "Jayline and Teresa".<br>Thanks-
I went in with a lot of pain around my wrist. Dr. Cornejo allowed me to explain what was going on, he analyzed the x-rays and made a treatment plan and after a few sessions I feel great, still have a few more sessions but my wrist has not been in pain like the beginning. Making my best to get to my scheduled appointments and following his instructions has helped me feel better. He truly is the best. Also, the front desk ladies are the sweetest always greeting you with a warm smile.
Excelente! Lleve a mi nieto de 3 años porque estaba sufriendo de mucha constipación, ya habíamos tenido que llevarlo al hospital por ese problema. El Dr Cornejo lo ajusto y ahora ya está regular de de su intestino, no puedo expresar lo agradecida que estoy con Dr Cornejo y muy convencida de que la chiropractica es la mejor manera de sanar a nuestros cuerpos.<br>Siempre me hace sentir mucho mejor y en lo personal me ayuda con el dolor corporal, pero ahora que me ayudo con mi nieto es un 100 de 100. Muchas gracias, Dr Cornejo!

Came in for shoulder pain, turns out my whole spine was a mess! I’m glad I was spontaneous and came to get seen today, and glad we’ll be working on my spine and hips to get me back to normal!
Dr. Cornejo is AWESOME!!! I’ve had lower back pain for several years and visited other chiropractors with no success. I was limited to physical activity and after visiting Dr. Cornejo I feel great. I’m able to work around the house and coach my kiddos without suffering from back pain. Highly recommend Cornejo Chiropractic.
I had an incredible experience at the chiropractic business; the staff was professional and the treatments were very effective. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking top-notch chiropractic care.

Excellent chiropractor! The customer service was outstanding, and the appointment was quick yet thorough. The SonoWave treatment was a great addition and provided noticeable relief. Highly recommend!
I had a sharp pain on my left foot and decided to go with a chiropractor. Dr. Cornejo helped me by detecting the cause of the pain. That same day, I started to feel better. His staff ,Theresa and Jaylin, are really awesome and understanding. The entire staff is really nice and always greeting you with a smile. Thank you for all you do.
Going to Cornejo Chiropractic has truly helped me dealing with my back and neck issues after a car accident that I had several months ago. The doctor and staff are truly the best at what they do. I highly recommend them to anyone I know.
Después de vivir dos años con dolor insoportable y visitar barios especialistas vine a cornejo chiropractic y note bastante la diferencia estoy mucho mucho mejor además son todos muy amables
What a wonderful Godsend this Doctor & staff have been! I always look forward to their kind, contentious care. The Zone therapy is a blessing, keeping each body system functioning properly. I call it my "bliss treatment" - and it indicates exactly which adjustment is needed.
I have been coming here since my car accident and it's been a great experience. They do good at relieving my lower back pain overall great customer service.
Highly recommend coming to this chiropractor. Since day one when i started coming here they’ve all been very nice. Thanks to them i’ve been feeling a lot better!

I'd like to take the time to thank chiropractor Cornejo and his team for their warm welcome, great attitude, and excellent customer service. My wife and I are based in Longview, TX. It's definitely worth the drive if you're in need of care or just require an alignment. I highly recommend giving them a try and experiencing it for yourself.
I have been seeing Dr. Cornejo for a few months now and he has helped my back tremendously! I always get great service all the way from reception to Dr. Cornejo!
