Started tracking food intake and workouts for the past 12 days. I walk anywhere from 3-5 miles a day (some in the morning, some during lunch and some in the evening). Twice I walked nine miles in a day.

I just noticed this evening that I'm so tired, like my muscles are tired. I went to the mall earlier and it was almost too much to try to carry some items. The walking I do includes using a resistance band, so I wonder if I am overdoing the band and or how much walking I'm doing?

Does anyone have any insight or experience with overdoing it too quickly?

Thanks!

I'll try the Gatorade. Thanks for your response. I'm surprised I haven't had cramps but don't want to wait for it. I will replace muscle gycongin (don't know what it is but will research).

This will show my lack of knowledge with muscle/weightlifting but the fact that my muscle tissues are torn, is that bad or a natural result when you work your muscles?

Also, my muscles need time to rebuild. How much time? Is it enough to alternate an intense workout one day and an easy workout the next day?

Thanks again for your insight -

Never intended to rack up so many miles in a day. I think you are right to hold back. Typically I walk 3-5 miles a day so I'll stay there for a while.

Appreciate the response -
