Persistent Fatigue:

Even after sleeping the whole night, if you feel exhausted, it means your body might be telling you it needs rest, not more exertion.

Sore or Achy Muscles:

Lingering soreness beyond 48 hours can be a sign of overtraining and the need for recovery time.

Poor Performance:

If you are facing a struggle with basic exercises or lifting less than usual may indicate your body hasn’t fully recovered.

Mood Swings or Irritability:

Increased anxiety, irritability, or low mood can indicate physical burnout and insufficient rest because of over workout.

Frequent Illness:

A weakened immune system due to over workout can make you more prone to infections

Disrupted Sleep:

Problems falling asleep or waking up frequently might mean your nervous system is overstimulated.

Lack of Motivation:

And even if the idea of working out feels mentally draining rather than exciting, it also means you need rest.
