Hi Will, I’ve been following your advice since your first book came out which I purchased and read. Your advice has helped me recover from a stroke 7 years ago. I’m getting stronger every day and look forward to many active years ahead. Yes, I’m guilty of over exercising because I’m no longer young and it takes longer to recover. Thank you from the bottom of my 70yo female heart ❤

[@HT-Physio]

This is absolutely fantastic to hear, I'm so pleased my work has helped support your recovery! I'm wishing you all the best in your strength building journey 😄

[@GeetaSingh-zp6we]

You aren't a physiotherapist but a professor of anatomy! Huge respect for your expertise and in-depth knowledge! Thank you so much!

[@HT-Physio]

Very kind and generous words, thank you! It's my pleasure to share my work with others 😄

[@carmenmichaelian8307]

I was facing fatigue problems a while back and decided to do a similar routine as you mentioned. It made a world of difference to take a break, rethink my exercise routine, and not be so hard on myself. I ended up calling my workouts, Smart Workouts. Thanks for this video because I know I was doing the right things. I've been working out at the gym for 26 years and I'm 70. I feel great.

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased to hear you figured this out for yourself and that it helped significantly! Keep doing what you're doing 😃

[@moniekfalck7089]

It's like you're reading my mind!! I'm 58 now. Went back to sporting after a year and a half of severe illness, too quick and too intensively. I wasn't building up muscles, not losing weight... I now have, for the first time in my life, an ache in my back. I really have to take the signs, of wanting to get my fitness back too quickly, more serious. Thank you, your advice is very helpful... 🙏🏽

[@HT-Physio]

It's vital to listen to your body. I hope you are able to get back to enjoying your sporting, by taking it at your own pace!

[@LindaMadlala]

Great advice. At 63 doing 90minutes HIIT workout sessions 3x per week, run 12 - 15km Wednesdays and 21km Saturdays _ rests Tuesdays/Fridays, no pain, no fatigue, just pure exhilaration life energy 🇿🇦🤺

[@HT-Physio]

Amazing work!

[@johndriscoll7932]

Thank you for your videos. This one on over-exercising is a game changer for me, makes so much sense. I am 86 and just recently have been having fatigue symptoms as you have described. I forget I am aging and have continued to exercise as hard as if I was 10 years younger. I have been exercising 5 days a week which includes 10k hilly walks and gym with cardio and weights. Recently I had a break because of a road trip holiday, I slept well and when I returned to my exercise regime results were good for a while then fatigue set in again. I now appreciate the necessity for recovery and keep away from negative territory.

[@reieli87]

It's has become a mantra for me for me "rest is good (breath in/out) rest is good".. Although I can push it, my thoughts are on longevity 😊

[@irongrl]

This is exactly what I need. Thank you for a well thought out explanation of the signs of over exercising and for a sensible plan to recover from it. It's so hard for me to take rest days or time off but I really need to.

[@HT-Physio]

I'm pleased to hear you found my video helpful - I know it can be hard, but in the long run it can be incredibly beneficial!

[@melissawitherspoon9094]

Thank you! One key take away for me is...be gentle and kind to myself. This is a long term way of life not a race.

[@SeniorLady]

This video popped up as my 65+ body was slouched in my desk chair, too fatigued to even make dinner. I've been working in my 1-acre yard aggressively for 3 to 4 hours every day this spring/summer/fall. I've got achy joints and straining connective tissue, and I was just hoping I could make it to the end of the season, but your video showed me that I need to take those warning signs seriously and follow your recovery guideline now. Thanks for helping me avert a real problem: I'll have to let the weeds & grass grow for a week, but luckily, it is cooling down out there and they've slowed somewhat.

[@neon-green-apple]

The explanations of specific ways to avoid injury or help recovery from injury and the easy-to-understand reasons are excellent.

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased my explanations have been helpful!

[@deborahbutcher9061]

Wow. This explains a lot. I always hit things hard when I start something. Doctors keep saying start real slow. But it feels so good and encouraging. Next thing I know the exhaustion hits so hard go to couch potatoes again. 73. Recovering from past valve replacement and broken hip. Your advise will take me out of that loop have found myself in for over a year. Thank you for your dedication to those of us who are aging and where exercise has become a necessity to maintain activity. God bless.

[@HT-Physio]

I'm so pleased my video was able to provide some useful information, and it's great to hear you'll be putting it into practice. I'm wishing you all the best with the new routine!

[@DavidBrockes]

Consistently is the key mate. ... You don't have to always go hard, as long as you are going. Have an alternative 'maintenance workout' that you can pull out and do when your mind starts arguing with you. Make it an easy one and 5 minutes into the session you might want to kick it up a knotch or two, but give yourself a plan B and it will help. But also remember his valid points about the connective tissue recovery, that is a perfect indicator of too heavy, incorrect form, or not enough recovery time. I like this guy. He has much valuable information about lots of other things. ❤

[@tupelohoney1803]

This is just what I needed. I'm a 62 year old woman and it seems sometimes I don't know when to slow down in my workouts. I teach yoga twice a week and practice on my own in between. I line dance 3 days a week for an hour each time and also practice in between. And top of all that lift weights twice a week and do other cardio workouts. I'm basically physically active every day of the week. I've been feeling very lethargic and now I know why - I'm overdoing it! Thanks you!

[@wallhagens2001]

I'm a 59 yo woman and I do the same thing! Got to give my body a chance to recover.

[@gigi9301]

@@wallhagens2001 57 female here; same. I have to keep telling myself that I'm not 30, 40, or 50 any longer. I enjoy working out but have hurt myself more than once in the past from "overdoing it".

[@petervangelderen6360]

I am on an exercise kick and love doing yoga. I did two intense sessions on one day this week and my body hurt like heck for a couple days but that night it was best I slept in two years!

[@IRSA1]

Excellent advice , very much needed by anyone like me , who being overly self disciplined, just does nit know when to stop.

[@HT-Physio]

I definitely know the feeling - it's a very fine balance to strike!

[@mimivwc516]

age 49 and i was doing upto 9 workouts a week, exhausted all the time and yes injured my back and triggered sciatica, decided to stop with the HIIT and bootcamp style stuff completely and rather take things much easier...when i get back to gym that is, still healing

[@HT-Physio]

I'm wishing you all the best in your recovery!

[@johnbiddal5951]

The advice you give and more importantly your explanations relating to that advice, are so welcome, and certainly for me quite comforting. I'm 80 and usually manage 2 or 3 Gym sessions weekly, and I suspect I've developed that connective tissue symptom in one arm because of a change in weights routine. I will follow your 5 step recovery advice as I'm confident it will be effective. Thanks Will. 👍

[@HT-Physio]

I hope it proves beneficial for you! I'm wishing you all the very best ☺

[@p.richter9592]

Love that you very thoroughly explain the reason behind why one should do things. Much easier to follow a recipe when you know why you are doing it. Great video. Have ordered your book, and waiting for it to get in stock in Norway. ATB 🇳🇴

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you for your comment, I think it's important that I explain why I recommend the things I do, so that individuals can make informed decisions regarding their care. Thank you for ordering my book, I hope you find it most interesting and useful when it arrives!

[@Tabitha_K]

Thank you so much for reminding me how to periodise my exercise. I’m a 60 year old woman who used to be an endurance athlete. I’ve always loved exercising and a cycling accident that caused multiple fractures and nerve damage in my dominant shoulder put a stop to my running in my 30s. So once I recovered from that I started to swim and to walk. At age 50 I added strength training and took up gardening - and gardening can be quite heavy work if you’re digging, lifting heavy pots etc. I must admit that my love of activity means that I regularly over-exercise and experience the local and systemic fatigue you describe. Three months ago I develop distal biceps tendinopathy in my dominant arm - likely through a combination of gardening and biceps and hammer curls. I also have low back pain that I’m due to have assessed next week by a physiotherapist. I find it incredibly hard to take time off activities but every time I get injured I tell myself that I will take whole weeks off hard activities every 2-3 months - hard as that is mentally! Your excellent video is a good reminder!

[@ronbell7920]

Good for you! I love gardening as well and can have 3,000+ calorie days by weeding, tilling with hand tools and harvesting. Now that is a good 6+ hours of work, but it gets me off the bike or out of the gym! That way I can "rest" those muscles and still be active. If I wake up tired in the morning then that is going to be an "off" day for me! I am 65 now and improvements do come slowly. My wife is a machine, she has one rest day a week!

[@lisbethsalander1723]

Thank you. I needed to hear this before my knee injury. Could you please consider doing a video for knee -injury -arthritis for knee exercises including walking . I am dealing with this for 9 months now. I am getting confused about what and how much should I be doing to heal. Appreciate your clear videos very much.

[@joseenoel8093]

Don't get on the arthritis band wagon, refuse the pills and do the work, only way to success!

It was perfect timing for me today. I didn't want to do squats, but now I won't feel like a quitter, thanks.

I was experiencing some of these symptoms right before I developed a tendon injury. I wish I had paid more attention to my body and just taken more rest! Lesson learned.

[@georgiegirl1602]

I discovered your videos a few weeks ago. And have dedicated my gluteal tendonopathy and disc bulge recovery on your exercises. Some days, I am relatively pain free in my back but my hip continues to hurt when I'm walking, but calms down when I rest. I suspect I'm going to hard, though, as some days everything hurts a lot and I dont feel as though I'm getting better. I'm going to focus on no 2 and 3 for a week and note my changes.

Very helpful!! I just turned 68 & a regular exerciser (over-exerciser). Thank you. Finally got a CFS diagnosis & this was part of the issue. This re-introduction of training regimen is really useful & eliminated my guilt for resting!! Really, thank you a lot. I was pushing to go back too fast & not resting long enuf in the initial phase.

[@MikeAllo-j3s]

Thank you for yet another excellent video Will. Whilst I understand the importance of keeping fit and it’s significant positive impact on all round health, I lack knowledge of what is the most beneficial approach to take to achieve my personal fitness goals. Your focus on my age group is so helpful in ensuring advice is relevant and this latest one is particularly timely as I am displaying all the symptoms of over exercising. I will now follow the advice and build up again slowly after a rest week.

Thank you, Will, this is so very helpful. At 81 with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension but determined to keep going, regular walking done well is crucial. I have to be on continual guard against not listening to my body and over-doing. Over-exercising affects oxygen use patterns and can drop me back to ground zero.

[@paulkoza8652]

Thanks Will. I always listen to my body. If I have an ache in a particular joint or tendon, I back off of exercising that area for a week. I also vary my routine on a weekly basis. I alternate every other day between resistance and cardio. I have 4 different machines I use for cardio so I'm not on the same one every time. I have 16 different resistance machines I use on a regular basis. I split these into two sets of 8 so I'm not using the same ones for every resistance session. This really helps a lot. My regular breaks come when I go on vacation or for family visits. I still try to walk, but I put the heavy pushing on hold. Downside is that it takes me a few weeks to get fully back to normal, but I guess that is the gradual increase that you speak of.

[@lynnpep6962]

Thank you, I will be taking this week off. My muscles feel ,not sore, but tired. Thank you for all of your advice.

Thank you, Will, for this superb video about over-training because I have made this mistake in the past while working out at a gym here in INDIA. Having worked in the aviation industry until 2020, I would ensure to work-out at the gym regularly, but lacked proper sleep due to the night-duty shifts which I had to attend to often due to our duty rosters. There was also a mistake I made by over-training which led to injury in my biceps muscles for which an ayurvedic doctor treated me with sports massage by which I learnt never to over-train. So, Will, thank you very much for this excellent teaching as you are a brilliant Physiotherapist!.

[@HT-Physio]

I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson the hard way. I'm pleased you found my video to be full of useful information. I'm wishing you all the best and I hope your sleep is better now you are no longer attending night shifts ☺

[@soundslight7754]

I was definitely doing more than I should earlier this year but I was on a tear and couldn't stop until I hit a plato for maybe a month. As I looked at it my options were: - to accept that was my limit and slow down into a graceful maintenance mode - take energy drinks on every session - turn to steroids - work with a PT and hopefully with improved diet and more targeted training I could continue I did none of above, instead went one day only for cardio training nothing else and the next day only weights, no cardio, not even to warm up! I did start with much lower weights and built up so I was having a better warm up for the specific exercise of the day. My sessions were shorter but probably became more intensive as I wasn't spreading myself thin. I continued on my path and progressed until hit the next snag

@@SF-UK-888 If the tendon is completely severed you’ll definitely know it, I ripped mine clean off the radius bone a couple of years ago. I fell out of a boat while fishing and had to scramble back into the boat with more speed than I thought I was capable of, as there was a 5 metre crocodile closing in to turn me into an easy snack. It was the excessive load I put on the right arm that caused the tendon to separate. Without an anchor point the bicep retracts to the upper arm like a tennis ball. I had mine repaired, 9 month rehab, all good now.

Hi.. is skipping a good exercise for 50+

[@NickDanger3]

Fatigue is a sign of tiredness? Similar to how being 90 is a sign of being old?

[@jackchisnall9316]

I appreciate there are many variables but approximately how often should you work a muscle (gym type exercise) and how much rest? Also does this apply to stretches, I have lower back pain and my physio has given me cat/cow and child pose exercises, I think of these as stretches and mobility/flexibility exercises rather than strength building.

[@plumeria66]

I stretch every single morning and also at night for my back. As we get older our fascia stiffens. If I don’t stretch, I wake up very stiff. So it depends on your body. If stretching a part of your body causes pain, wait for it to heal completely before stretching it again.

[@janineerasmus6813]

Valuable information, thank you so much! Can this apply even if you are not exercising excessively? I do short sessions most days but they literally are just 10-15 minutes, and sometimes I do feel very sore in the lower legs, for instance, to the point where the ache prevents me from getting comfy in bed, or just feel exhausted ( I attribute this to external stress, but I am now aware there could be another reason). These are just light exercises, but I am not very fit and have only been doing them since May after not exercising much at all, so could I be overdoing it even at this minor level?

I think if "it" was not called working out, but instead called what as you said we are actually doing: breaking down , then we would "get it" that the recovery is the real gain time and we would not short cut recovery. When we heal the intentional micro tears, that is actually when the muscle grows and the strength is gained. But by calling it working out, we just think more of that is more gain. Just the opposite! More recovery is the gain from breaking down during the gym.
