How to Avoid Overtraining, Injury and Burnout

When you care about performance and like to train hard, how do you avoid falling into overtraining? What are the risks to burnout and injury? If you do sustain an injury or your workout goals have changed, how can you leverage goal setting to improve self-efficacy?

On this podcast episode, my guest Dr. A’Naja Newsome explains how to avoid overtraining, injury and burnout; the benefits of exercise on mental health; and more.

I’m Steph Gaudreau, Certified Sports Nutritionist from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN), NASM-CPT, Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist (GGS), and athlete over 40.
