Well, i know i wont die, i just wanted to get your attention. But hear me out! Am i overtraining? If so, what effects will this cause on me? I weigh 170, 5'11, 19 years old, i also eat right.
Mon- kickboxing, run 2 miles.
Tues- Full body workout, walk two miles, jiu jitsu for two hours.
Wednesday- kickboxing, run 1 mile.
Thurs- Full body workout, cheat meal!
Friday- kickboxing, run 2 miles.
Saturday- full body workout, walk 1 mile.
Sunday- jiu jitsu for two hours.
Good? Bad? Death?
 
That's quite a bit of activity.

But...overtraining is so subjective. Only you know if you're overtraining or not.
Some signs---fatigue, loss of motivation, strength loss, trouble sleeping/getting to sleep/staying asleep/getting quality sleep, higher resting bp in the morning, etc etc etc

So much depends on age, physiology, other activities, amount of sleep you get, kcal intake, etc
 
I can't remember who said this. I want to say Parillo, but don't hold me to that.
"There's no such thing as overtraining, just undereating." Not sure I can totally agree, but that's one way to look at it.

At your age, assuming you are eating properly and getting plenty of sleep, I wouldn't worry too much - but that's just me.:)

As evolution said, it's an active lifestyle you have , but not that tough a one IMO - I've seen worse weekly regimens for 19 year olds resulting in little ( if any ) apparant ill effects. In fact, I've seen some guys twice your age work just as hard.

Again, as evolution said, much of this is subjective and subject to a lot of factors. For example, by comparison, based on my experience coaching some etite level hockey players about your age, your weekly workout regimen isn't all that bad IMO.

Your week looks fine to me, I'd have been able to cope with similar when I was 19. Just keep a look out for tiredness, if you start getting tired to easily give yourself a day off and you should be fine
 
Yes you're going to die. We all are. Duh!

joking aside, that looks like a lot to me...but you may have adapted to it, so for you its 'just right'.

As Evo already said, you're really the only person that'll know if you're overtraining. With that regimen, I can see a couple nights of lack of sleep throwing you into overtraining mode. You'll just have to keep an eye out for symptoms, and if you see them, take a few days off, especially from weight training as that taxes your nervous system quite a bit.
 
I do the same training as you except my jiujitsu is 3hrs and I'm 30. Just listen to your body and take a rest day when you need them.

I don't think much else needs to be said.
