Many people overtrain but fail to see the signs even as theyre suffering from them. The following is number 2 of the 8 Signs Of Overtraining. Read it carefully. You’re losing leanness despite increased exercise. If losing fat was as easy as burning calories by increasing work output, overtraining would never result in fat gain – but that isn’t the case.

You’re “burning calories,” probably more than ever before, but it’s predominantly glucose/glycogen and precious muscle tissue. Net effect: you’re getting less lean.
