I consider myself to be in a fairly good shape. Not an athlete by any means but I jog, lift weights, bike, run, dance, hike - probably your typical west coaster

But every time I try to amp up my workout routine and try Insanity, T25 and P90X, I get work out to the point of exhaustion, and it takes me DAYS to recover from it. Once I caught a cold right after I did the workout! I eat well, sleep well and make sure I get my "fuel" pre and post workout. It's almost more detrimental than beneficial to do these workouts since I'm out of it for a while afterwards.

Anyone has the same issue?

Keep in mind not everybody has to work out at that level. I do all the things you do on the regular, but do NOT ever engage in that type of "heavy stuff." For most, really moderate exercise is best and healthiest. If you are getting sick, then yes, you are doing too much.

I had a trainer that pushed me beyond what I should have been doing. At the time I was in really good shape so he amped the workout up to really challenge me. It took 4 days to recover. I told me that I cannot be pushed that hard anymore.
