People often exercise too much without giving themselves enough rest in between workouts.
This can lead to an overuse or overtraining injury. This is where the body does not have enough time to recover from one workout before it is subjected to another workout.

Signs of overtraining are a lack of sleep, constantly being tired and sore, mood disturbances, change in appetite, and decreased performance during workouts. An easy way to avoid this problem is to give your body adequate rest between workouts.
