To be fair most of us regular humans are way way too concerned about overtraining. It’s really hard to get there.
If you have a typical office job, you almost certainly don’t even have enough time in the day to overtrain.

But overtraining isn’t just getting over exerted and having to rest for a few days or even weeks. It’s a very gnarly condition that’s ridiculously hard to get to. Most of us would mentally tap out long before.
It’s a lot like the difference between needing a break and being burned out. Getting tired and needing a break is normal, being burnt out is a serious condition.
And if you had not done sport for a long time and suddenly get back to it, trying to "continue" where you left, that is when injuries happen.
