But it is hard when you almost get a high from "besting" yourself. Like you said, I sometimes have to catch myself from feeling the need to make every workout a hardcore, breathless one. Great post! And have a great time at the Super BOwl party! I have gotten much better at listening to my body. But it is hard when you almost get a high from “besting” yourself.

I love your guidelines and tips they are really helpful. I know even though I listen to my body most of the time sometimes I just push myself too hard, even though im tired. I always feel good when im done but I should make sure that I am not overdoing it because that would not be healthy either. Have fun at your superbowl party!

I like how you compared overtraining to supplements; more isn't always better! I've never experienced overtraining before, because I've never actually trained for anything, however I know I was working out way too much when I had an eating disorder my freshman year of college. I guess it was more like bulemia because I ate, but I "worked it off" by over-exercising. As for the whey, the information that I have can be found on the ADA website, I believe. Basically the claim that whey helps build muscle and improve exercise performance has shown conflicting evidence in human trials. The claim that it improves immunity or acts as an anticancer agent has not enough evidence to rate. Kristen, great post! I like how you compared overtraining to supplements; more isn’t always better!

I really like all of the information and it's interesting to me. Yes, I do try to listen to my body and rest when I need to. Just 2 days ago I knew I needed to take a break so I rested all day long and the next day I felt so much better and was ready to exercise like my normal self. I'm really liking the FYF. Look forward to the next one! I didn’t think this sucked butt at all! I really like all of the information and it’s interesting to me. Yes, I do try to listen to my body and rest when I need to.
