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

I started seeing Dr. Toro because I was dealing with persistent hip pain that was making everyday activities uncomfortable. After a few visits, I noticed a huge difference. My pain has improved tremendously, and I’m moving much more comfortably than I was before.
What I appreciate most is that he genuinely takes the time to listen and explain things instead of making you feel like just another patient. The office is welcoming, professional, and you can tell they truly care about helping people feel better.
Highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed this chiropractor I am disabled I am in a wheelchair and they really was considered of my disability and was willing to help me in any and every way possible if I could recommend a chiropractor that takes into consideration what you want help with
Cannot recommend this clinic enough! Incredible staff, super welcoming and clean space. Dr. Toro is clearly well versed in helping you feel better. If you're dealing with back pain I highly highly suggest coming here!
My husband was in terrible pain on his lower back and after seeing the doctor for his lower back he left feeling great and can walk again with no sharp pain! Very knowledgeable doctor!
From the moment my husband began struggling with vertigo, it felt like we were stuck—doctors only offered Meclizine, which made it nearly impossible for him to work or even drive safely. On top of that, the ENT specialist had a long waitlist, leaving us searching for answers on our own.<br><br>After researching alternatives, I discovered the Epley Maneuver and decided to call Dr. Torro’s chiropractic office—and I’m so glad I did. They got my husband in the very same day, which already exceeded our expectations.<br><br>What happened next was nothing short of incredible. By just the second visit, my husband was feeling dramatically better—almost back to normal. It honestly felt unreal to see such a quick turnaround after everything we’d been through.<br><br>I am beyond grateful for the care, urgency, and effectiveness of the treatment we received. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️
I have been to several different chiropractic therapies over the years. Dr. Toro has created a customized plan suited to my specific issues. Very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend.
I reached out to Dr. Nandy Toro's office to see if they could give my father an appointment for treatment for sciatica. I notified them my father had tried everything and nothing was helping the pain. Dr. Nandy Toro and his staff were so wonderful and booked him an appointment immediately and started working with my father to help him with his sciatica. They were so caring, helpful and professional. My father is doing so much better thanks to Dr. Nandy Toro. I highly recommend him and I am thankful for all he and his staff did for my father.
Quería dejar este review porque de verdad que tuve una muy buena experiencia.<br><br>Fui por los dolores de la fibromialgia y las molestias en las articulaciones…rodillas, caderas y espalda, que ya me tenían bastante incómoda en el día a día. También tenía mucha tensión en el cuello y no estaba descansando bien. Poco a poco he ido sintiendo mejoría: menos dolor, más movimiento y en general me siento mucho mejor.<br><br>El De.Toro es bien atento, escucha con calma y va trabajando contigo según cómo te vayas sintiendo, sin prisa. Eso se valora mucho.<br><br>De verdad lo recomiendo, especialmente si estás lidiando con dolores constantes y quieres algo que te ayude de verdad.
Honestly, I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share this. I’ve been dealing with knee and hand pain for a while now, from playing sports back in the day, working as a mechanic, and now driving for hours every day. It all started adding up… stiffness, pain, especially after long days.<br><br>Ever since I started going to Dr. Toro, things have been getting way better. Less pain, more movement, and I’m not feeling as tight after sitting all day. I can actually get through the day without feeling beat up.<br><br>He’s easy to talk to, really listens, and works with you based on what you’ve got going on. That’s why I make sure to go every week now,it’s worth it!!<br><br>I definitely recommend checking him out.
