The Hidden Cost of Overtraining — Especially for Adults Over 45

You’ve heard it before: “No pain, no gain.” But pushing your body too often and too hard doesn’t build resilience—it breaks it down.

For adults over 45 in Wayzata, Minnetonka, and Excelsior, overtraining is a silent performance killer. Symptoms like chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep, joint pain, and increased risk of injury are warning signs your body is not recovering properly.

At MYO, located near Lake Minnetonka, we specialize in evidence-based high-intensity strength training tailored for busy professionals and retirees. We structure each workout to deliver maximum benefit with minimal wear and tear. That means short, infrequent training sessions combined with proper recovery.

The result? You build strength, increase energy, and feel younger—without burning out. It’s time to stop overtraining and start optimizing your health and longevity.
