I was confused when I first saw the first post, because the poster did not reference the source and it looked like they had written it. I don't think Katherine's post is at all rude. She thanked the poster, and asked with a please, to reference the author. I would have liked to have known the source as well.

Overtraining is a good thing to be reminded of. I think there are many of us who could fall into this trap because of our zeal for fitness.

Ageleg I agree with you 100% could not have said it better.

Another "twitcher" thanks you.

Thanks for posting the article. Personally, I like to see a web link so I can see articles and things for myself, but that's just me.

Anne,

Thanks for the article. It was very interesting. At least you didn't post anything about why we shouldn't eat eggs.

LOL, Charlotte :+

Since I've been posting less and lurking more these days, I've learned so much. As a student of Psychology, you'd think it wouldn't surprise me...but it does.

We are so diverse with so many different personalities! What really annoys some people, helps others. I am not a stickler for form, physical, literal or dietary (well, to a degree) but Kathryn is very rigid with it. Evidentely, others on this site are the same way because they are thanking Kathryn for her help as I am usually rolling my eyes.

Some diversity I really find hard to embrace but I'm trying

I enjoyed the article, knew it was taken from somewhere and was fine with that awareness without knowing exactly where it came from. So, thank you, Anne

Kathryn did have a point that the legal ramifications could be widespread, possibly affecting Cathe. I would never have thought of that!

Thanks so much for posting that. I had no idea that eyelid twitches could be caused from overtraining. Mine started twitching a few weeks ago and I never would have put the two together.

Thanks for the article. I have been getting a lot of colds and could not figure it out. I eat right , sleep enough and take airborne. Any way maybe I need to back off a little.
Thanks and I also understood that you didn't write the article. Let's all be more polite.

Back to the original subject first posted - I work out 6 days per week for an average of 1.5 hours.

I feel fine, but I do note that when I take a week or even two off, I am stronger when I return to working out.

Am I working out too much if I continue to work out 6 days per week for an average of 1.5 hours? I almost always include a minimum of 25 min cardio in my workouts.

I don't manifest any of the symptoms associated with overtraining, but now I am worried.

Am I setting myself up for injury if I continue my regular workouts as they are now?

I was a bit confused about authorship as well. But thanks for posting this--just last night my husband said to me "overtraining--what are they talking about?" while we watched The Biggest Loser.

Oh my gosh - up until last week my eye had been twitching for about 2 months almost every day! I chalked it up to work stress. I've been lifting lighter with the new Cathe's so maybe that was the break I needed? I do have some stress at work so it could have been that too. But good to know.

Anne AND Kathryn - I appreciate all that you both offer to these boards. Thanks for all of your contributions.

Amy, If you display zero symptoms and you are seeing fitness gains, I would not worry about it one bit! You're fine. What may be too much for one person may be perfect for another. There really isn't a set amount for every exerciser out there and if you exceed that amount, you start sneezing and the eye starts twitching.

I really enjoyed the article, thanks Anne.

I do like to see the source, only because I know there are a lot out there that are total crap. I know there was a situation were a poster was basing her training on a short 1/2 page article written by someone who didn't know squat about running (the author may not have even been a runner). Anyway, it let me know that it wasn't something I wanted to consider.
