How much exercise is too much?

"Too much" is when you are interfering with your healthy lifestyle because of your exercising. This can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 5 hours... if the exercise is inhibiting you from living life, it is TOO MUCH. If exercise is blocking you from eating, it is TOO MUCH. If exercise is depriving you of sleep, it is TOO MUCH. If you feel constantly in pain, exhausted, worn out, it is TOO MUCH. If your social life is suffering, it is TOO MUCH. Exercise should contribute, not subtract, from a healthy happy life.

if you feel physically weak or light headed, or to the point you are putting too much strain on your body and are in pain.

There's not a specific limit of how much excercise is too much really, it's all in proportion with how many calories you eat. The mroe you eat, the more you can excercise. The less you eat, the less you can excercise. Just don't excercise too excessivley and remember to eat when you're hungry.

The amount of exercise that is classified as "too much" is contingent based on person to person. This is as people have different bodies - which can take different amounts of physical strain based on lifestyle, diet, general health and fitness and anything which may impact the type of activity you do for example cardiovascular diseases. However, the moment exercise begins to hurt you unbearably - which is considering that you did your warm ups properly otherwise your muscles may be stiff, you feel really dizzy or you throw up are signs that your exercise is either too strenuous or its too prolonged.

Exercising is good for you in many ways for your physical as well as mental health , but like any good thing there is a possibility to out do it, returning to the question the answer will differ from one individual to other depending upon their current physical health

Too much exercise is when you feel your body almost collapsing with exhaustion. After this point, your body cannot handle the exercising.

Anything too much or too little is ineffective and wrong, a balance therefore must be there, suited to your own personal needs and wants and capabilities! While it ofcourse depends from person to person, I feel , too much exercise could be when, your body starts getting exerting more, the exercise seems forced more than willing, the good hormones released after physical workout not making you feel good anymore, instead just making you feel more exhausted, drained and stressed , consistent body ache etc . So do consult a doctor and/or a trainer and only do just much your body can and should take, only then will the results be effectively! One cross fit at a time ❤

If it's to the point it's ruining your life, or hurting others or yourself, that'd be too much exercise.

Honestly it depends on the person. You should always think of your health while exercising and consult your doctor

3 times a week is the average, about 2 hours max a day. If you are doing more days then lessen the time in each day. If you have any side effects at all do visit your doctor to confirm what is it you are over doing.

There's no set number for everyone, because every person is different. In order to decide what is too much for an individual, I think setting both short term and long term goals will help you to achieve the desired results while preventing overworking yourself. As a former competition dancer, I made it a goal to get both of my splits in time for competition season. I would stretch both sides every night for the same time each night and go until I no longer felt comfortable holding the position I was in. I did eventually get my right split (I have medical issues that made my left split significantly more difficult) and I was able to avoid overworking myself and injuring myself by knowing my body's limits, and I am very satisfied with my results!

If your body is in severe pain then stop, there is pushing the limit a little and then pushing it too much.. Listen to your body.

The Center for Disease Control , or CDC, recommends that you get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 mins of intense activity per week. Now, personally, being an athlete myself, I go for way more beyond that. I usually get around 50-60 minutes of activity every day for six days. That's around normal range. I guess it really just depends on how much you're exercising for. Losing weight? Take it easy. You can't lose weight unless you have proper nutrition as well. For sport? It's good if you're getting alot of exercise, but anything that might increase the risk of injury or change of lifestyles (for example, more tired throughout the day) may not be too good for you. This really just depends on the person so make sure you are getting the most adequate exercise needed for your body, safely.

Exercise is neither like doing whole day nor it is like doing one day you are doing it and the very next day you are doing rest. Exercise vary from body to body person to person also it depends on our strength. For example a person with normal body can do normal exercise or can walk on treadmill its enough for him . A person who is having medical history with little fat on needs a lot of exercise of every body. Person with old age needs to do light weight exercise. There are no. Of exercise like doing exercise in gym or like doing exercise at home . But best exercise is running . If you want to have a fit body then running is best. You can do running for 15 mins a day and its enough .

If you feel like you're pushing yourself and it's motivating you, I don't think it's too much. If you feel like you're suffering, it's likely too much for your body. When you finish a workout, I feel like you should feel energized. If you're feeling wiped out for the rest of the day because you just have nothing left in you, it's likely too much for your body. Exercise should be something that you enjoy, or are at least glad that you've done it once you're finished. No one should feel like it's a punishment or be extremely hard on themselves for skipping a workout. That would be too much. Exercise is a great way to celebrate the way that your body can move. It's very individual.

Too much exercise can be exhibited both physically and socially. If you're physically exhausted to the point that you're unable to complete other physical tasks, you might be overdoing. Socially, if exercise is preventing you from enjoying family gathering or other events, you might be overdoing it. I was a personal trainer and strength coach for ~3 years and still active train and compete as a powerlifter. My general recommendation is to exercise at least 3-5 times a week depending on your goals (and time). If you're exercising more than 5 times a week (2-3 hours per session) than it would likely be because it's part of your career or if you intend to compete in a sport.

Every body is different and no one can tell you what is best for your body. Exercise is a great stress relief tool. As long as you are letting your body rest and not pushing yourself to the point of injury or exhaustion, you should feel free to do as much exercise as you desire. With that, having adequate nutrition is important to ensure your body can withstand the stress being put on it during exercise. Again, each body is different and you should always listen to your body to find out your specific needs and how to best meet those.

You can never exercise too much. You can however over exercise in some exercises you are doing. Focusing on one particular part of the body can be harmful as you are not balancing the exercise. Continuing on with this practice can lead to some parts of the body becoming too reliant on other muscles to do the work for them. Having a personal program and planning your workouts can help us not to overcompensate in these areas. The feelings of being unbalanced and lop sided will only last a day or two though. Our muscles can repair at a very good rate if looked after properly.

Exercise becomes too much, when you start to force your body to hold on, even when you know it needs to rest. Exercise becomes too much, when you don't enjoy the activity anymore, when you do it because you feel pressure coming from some area of your life (for example when you feel pressured by society to look fit). Everybody is different and limits are different for every person. That is why non of us here can really tell you, how much exercise is too much. You know yourself best, so the only person who can really define how much exercise is too much is you. Take a moment and analyze how you feel, how your body feels, if you realize it is tired, give it some time to rest. As long as your body can take it and it makes you happy, exercise is good. But remember to take care of yourself, your body and your mind!

Getting enough exercise is important for self-care but there are instances when one can overdo it. Too much exercise occurs when you stop listening to what your body is telling you and push yourself past the point of benefiting from the experience. The American Heart Association recommends about 2.5 hours of heart-pumping physical activity each week. No two bodies are exactly alike so the best way to evaluate whether you are exercising too much is to listen to your body. If you are experiencing negative physical or even mental outcomes from exercise, you may very well be exercising too much!

If you exercise more than you're able, you wont be able to recover fully in 30 minutes. Try to limit the amount that you do and be happy, even if you don't change immediately. It's one brick at a time.

I think that too much exercise would be overworking your body to the point of not caring for it. The body really has to relax and give itself time to relax! If you don't give your body time to relax, you will not properly be ready for the next time you exercise. Too much exercise can be 5-7 days of exercise, because the recommended exercise days are usually 3-4 days per week. Running every day would be overkill as well because too much running can put strain on your joints and make you feel tired as well.

When the body starts aching ,liganemmts start streching nad there is no energy left but you are still pushing , then it is the sign that its too much exercise . You and your body needs a break .Like sometimes , few people will push themseleves upto a horrendeous limit , which is very bad . body has a threshols , suppose its like a rubber band if strectched to much sna dtoo much so it will break down , Thats the same thing with the body as well . When strectch too much , it will break down completely .

Too much exercise is an amount that overwhelms your body. You may become dehydrated from exercising to hard and not receiving proper fluids. If you go from lifting dumbbells for 20 minutes daily to running 2 miles and going through a whole 60-minute exercise routine, you are pushing your body too far. The latter workout is most definitely possible, but you need to gradually build from being the dumbbell person to the 2-miler. Even if you don't exercise at all; with enough determination, time, and motivation, you will get there. Just make sure that whatever workout you choose to do, you properly warm up, cool down, and fuel your body.

Exercise is really good for you, like really good. I wouldn't say that there isn't a maximum amount of exercise. Everyone has different tendencies and can tolerate more, depending on their physical and mental stability. A good stopping point is when you start to feel faint or tired. Never push yourself to the breaking point, know yourself and stop when you think you are getting to the end of your abilities to keep moving. You should also get lots of sleep after exercising, for example I wouldn't go for a run at 1am, then not go to bed; as that is really bad for both you mental and physical state. If you have any more questions about exercise feel free to message any listener and we can do our best to help. :) Have a great day :)

Like many other things, this answer varies from person to person based on fitness level and intensity of the workouts. It is essential to get active somehow everyday because it great for the body and mind! However, this doesn't mean everyday has to be rigorous. Find exercises that are challenging yet achievable, something that you actually enjoy doing. Listen to your body. If you're muscles are really sore, rest and care for them. If you feel able, then push yourself to do more and feel the rush of achieving your goals! Workout out of a place of self love and care, not out of hatred for the body you already have. Even if you don't have your ideal body/fitness, remember that by loving your body and being patient and consistent, results will surely come. Another thing to add is other health aspects like drinking enough water, eating nutritious food, and getting quality sleep. When your body is functioning at its best, then you will be able to exercise the best. Exercise is all about improving your overall health, both in physical and mental fitness. If it fails to do these things, then it is time to reevaluate your exercise routines.

Exercise is empowering for some people, but a necessity or chore for others. One might not be able to recognize that they are over-doing it due to a number of reasons,be it because they are passionate about exercising or desperate to look/ feel good. At the point when the amount of exercise you do leaves you physically/mentally tired, begins isolating you from your family/friends (you turn down plans, don't talk to them), or at the point where it has an unhealthy effect on your body - such as exercising despite an injury or to the point of having no fat at all, looking frail, feeling weak. Too much of a good thing is not good at all.

Over an hour or when you become really really tired. If you continue to push yourself, your body is trying to say to you "stop". However, continuing can cause major body problems. Such problems include: join problems, throwing up, passing out, and more. This is NOT what exercise is supposed to look like. You need to listen to your body and know your limits. They say that pushing your limits is good, but sometimes enough is enough. Your body needs to rest and when you don't allow it to take the rest it needs, you are overworking yourself. Take it slow and easy. It is healthy and fun if you do it right!

Overexercising can be harmful to your body. Some symptoms are being unable to perform at the same level, needing longer rest periods, feeling tired or depressed, and having mood swings / being irritable. Other signs of overexercise can be trouble sleeping, losing motivation, or having sore muscles for much longer than usual. Overexercising is dangerous because there is a higher risk of injury. You can avoid overdoing workouts by eating enough calories for your level of activity, drinking enough water when exercising, decreasing workouts before a competition, sleeping at least 8 hours each night, and cutting back on exercise when you don't feel well or feel stressed. It is also recommended to avoid exercising in extreme heat or cold, and to rest for at least 6 hours between workouts.

From personal experience I feel that exercising one hour a day is good to maintain a health life. Some people might like to exercise more. If you have the time and you are not putting to much stress on your body it is okay to exercise more. I use to work at a gym and some people stopped in there three times a day. If you are just started my recommendation is start going just a couple of times then build yourself up to going every day. Choosing to go more then once a day is a personal choice.
