risk of endometrial cancer. A doctor can also rule out pregnancy and recognize possible signs of over training or eating disorders. (Menstrual periods usually return to normal within two or three months once you stop pushing yourself so hard)

Reaction #3 Insomnia
Signal: Difficulty falling -or staying- asleep.
How it`s tied to your workout: You could be exercising too close to bedtime. Working out raiser heart rate, body temperature and metabolism,so even one to three hours after exercising, you may want too revved up to fall asleep.
What to do: Try to finish exercising at least three hours before bedtime. If you still find yourself tossing and turning, reduce the length and intensity of your routine or change your exercise time. In general, you`ll get the most sleep benefits from exercise if you workout in the late afternoon or early evening.
Reaction #4 Breast Pain
Signal: Breast tenderness or nipple sensitivy during and after exercise.
How it`s tied to your workout: Your sport bra probably isn`t doing its job. Without adequate support, breasts, which are mostly made up of fatty tissue, will jiggle and bounce uncomfortably, particularly in large-breasted women. And bouncing may cause your nipples to chafe againt the fabric of your bra.
What to do: Tes bras before you buy. choose one that expands enough to let you breathe and move freely, yet is tight enough to keep your breasts from bouncing. Avoid those that ride up or have underwires that dig into your body. Jog or jump in the dressing room to test the jiggle factor.
