(HealthDay News) -- When it comes to exercise, as with any other activity, it's possible to overdo it.

The American Council on Exercise says if you feel more exhausted than energized after a workout, you may be overtraining. The council offers these additional potential warning signs:

• Seeing a decrease in performance.
• Experiencing a loss of coordination.
• Having headaches, stomach aches or other gastrointestinal problems.
• Having frequent infections and more frequent muscle or bone injuries.
• Having an elevated resting blood pressure and heart rate.
• Having tenderness or soreness in the muscles.
• Losing appetite or having trouble sleeping.
