Athletic question?

Question

Hi im a 14 year old guy, and im training for boxing at a gym. and As a boxer I work out in multiple different areas such as stamina, strength, endurance, speed, and flexibility. I believe i have overtrained the last 2 weeks. I realized the bad side of overtraining and the fatigue so i slowed down slightlty, but fatigue was still lingering, so this week i rested for a full 7 days, this being the 7th day. Now i am about to begin going to the gym agAIN, however when i think about going to the gym, I feel tired exactly at 5 PM, when i usually go to the gym. Im pumped up at all other times of the day. And also, whenever I want to go running, the second i step on the track i feel like **** and feel like going home. I believe its all mental but i cant help it. how can i prevent getting sudden energy drops during the day (because i want to have maximum energy at the gym so i can work out fully) Thank u in advance.

Answer 1

you may not be eating enough or the right foods. your diet can significantly inpact your stamina. for some information of diet and fitness go to crossfit.com

as for over-training you need o have at least 1 rest day a week and maybe even 2 depending on the person

Answer 2

one think that i do for my workouts is always stay a little active but not to active especially during the summer. wht i mean is dont be laying around all day trying to save ur energy. be up and moving aroung because its like when u watch a movie or sumthing u would think that u would be well rested but instead ur really tired and dont feel like moving especially running. also stay really hydrated, gatorade!!

Answer 3

In addition to what "Joe" advised also watch what you are eating, you may be crashing from what ever it is your eating. Try eating a Yogurt about 1/2 hour before you head to the gym. DO NOT take any kind of energy drink, just water. I hope that these things work for you, Good Luck.
