In today’s fast-paced world, many active adults and restless parents rely on physical activity to manage their daily stress. Exercise is a fantastic tool for reducing stress levels, boosting mood, and improving overall health. However, there’s a fine line between beneficial workouts and pushing your body too far, which can lead to overtraining syndrome. Understanding how stress affects your body, especially when combined with intense training stress, is essential for maintaining a healthy balance and avoiding burnout.
