You do need rest weeks for muscle, ligament, and tendon recovery. When I start feeling the health effect lessen (mentally), I take extra cold showers (not right after exercise as that hurts muscle recovery). Cold showers or ice baths, if you got the opportunity can reset dopamine levels. I think you just torture yourself for a few minutes and that makes you feel better about the day in comparison, but science says it does stuff on a cellular level that helps.
I heard of an idea of 4-5 walls to get over while in the cold water. First you’ll be cold and can’t think. Just move around and try to get use to it. After a while you will get to the point of being able to talk with shouting and shivering. That’s a wall. You will soon get cold again and that will start your next wall. Maybe 5 - 10 minutes for me. It helps refresh my outlook.
Did anyone else go from
to
over the course of like a few months?
Yes. That was how I discovered the concept of overtraining.
It’s especially easy to overtrain if the rest of your life is stressful.
Im lucky that I’m incredibly lazy
Thanks for the proof that sport is bad for you.
