Are you stuck behind a desk, working long hours Monday to Friday, but then hitting it hard on the weekends?

Regular moderate exercise has an immune supportive effect; however, over-training may weaken your immune system. This detrimental effect is called over-training syndrome (OTS). OTS commonly occurs in athletes who train beyond their body’s ability to recover. As we come into winter, the last thing that you want is to find your performance limited because of recurrent infections.

Endurance training programs are important to increase stamina, but nutritional supplementation can also significantly boost your stamina. Remember, that it’s not only long distance athletes that can benefit from increased endurance. Whether it be lengthy exercise such as long distance running or motocross, or sports that require bursts of energy, such as football or tennis, increased endurance is vital to your performance.
