How much exercise is too much?

When you feel your body starts to hurt.the researchers found that 50 percent of athletes who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging displayed signs of the tricky-to-detect hardening of heart cells. This hardening of heart cells may play a role in precipitating sudden cardiac arrest or, at the very least, induce an irregular heartbeat. And while runners who log between .15 and 15 miles per week (a wide range, indeed) benefit from an estimated 19 percent reduction in mortality rates, those who consistently surpass 25 weekly miles have a risk of death compared to those who don’t exercise.

It depends on individual. If you are healthy, haven't got any medical restraints for exercising, exercise regularly, you can endure very much exercise and it can hardly be too much. Some people are even capable of running marathon for which not everyone is suited even though they are healthy. So, it is very hard to tell how much exercise is too much for someone who is healthy. But if you have got any conditions which medically restraint you, your doctor can tell you how much exercise and how vigorous exercise and which kind of exercise is suitable for you.

In my experience, it's how you feel a day or two after you exercise that will determine if it's too much. I know it's a strange answer, but I feel like it comes down to your awareness when you are doing the exercises and activities that you do. Sometimes, I push myself too much—often because I’m in a group class, and there’s peer pressure; or I want to impress someone in the group (or the instructor). And then I feel the consequences of my actions of not listening to my own body. Another indication that you’re working out too much if you feel really fatigued, or worse, you get sick. That’s your body saying, “Hey, Listen.”

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

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 .

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.

Exercise is a great way to stay healthy and boost your mood. However, there is a point when you are exercising too much. This is different for everyone, so there is not one exact answer. You should listen to your body and take rest days when you need them. If you are overworking your body, it will tell you. If you are sore or tired allow yourself to take a break from exercise or perhaps do a more easy workout like walking at a slower pace or stretching/yoga. Exercise is super important, but recovery days are necessary to make sure you don't injure yourself.

Some people love to exercise or have a habit of exercising a lot or often. However, it can sometimes be hard to tell how much exercise is too much exercise. Generally speaking, if exercising is having a deleterious effect on mental or physical health, the amount of exercise being engaged in may be too much. For instance, if a person is experiencing overuse injuries of their muscles, joints, or other body parts, or if a person is unable to maintain a healthy weight as a result of exercise, then it's possible the amount of exercise they are performing is too much.

Exercising to the point of obsession is not good , everything should be done on moderation that includes exercise. Don't starve yourself , don't stress yourself

I believe if you feel good after exercising, the time and strength you did is okay for your body, it's normal though to feel somewhat tired because you used up energy. If exercising makes you feel exhausted, you feel too tired or get mental fatigue the body is telling you to change either the intensity, the length or frequency of your exercise. Workout routines for beginners are a great way to start and then build up from there, always keeping in mind that what you use up (for example minerals) need to be replaced, so eating healthy is very important.

It's up to you to consider how much exercise is too much, it depends on each person and how much exercise they're used to. For example, someone that doesn't exercise a lot, should take it easy and start slow so the amount of exercise that is too much for them wouldn't be the same as someone that has been exercising consistently for a long time. Generally speaking, too much could be considered anything that is too much for you to handle and isn't healthy for you anymore, that is causing you or will cause you in the long run great discomfort

Doing anything in excess is unhealthy. Something becomes excessive when it starts to cause harm to yourself and/or to other people. Exercise is hard to do too much in excess since it is good for you, but doing too much can harm you. For example, you can exercise too hard that result in physical injuries that are medically serious and/or chronic. You could become obsessed with exercise if you are obsessed with being skinny for example, which interferes with other commitments like work and spending time with family and friends. Every individual is physically different and have different lifestyles. You are doing too much exercise if it is resulting in injuries or detrimental health outcomes to you, and/or it interferes with other commitments.

Exercise should be a way to set you free and not a prison that you can't escape from. Exercise is definitely something that will enhance your life in all areas: mentally, physically, and emotionally. But too much of a good thing can definitely be bad. Your body will definitely tell you if it is having a hard time keeping up with demands that are too strenuous for it. It will manifest in constant injuries, dehydration, exhaustion, and feeling your general drive for life waning. For the appropriate amount of exercise, listen to what your body is telling you. If you are getting back into shape, you might feel soreness, feel a little more tired than usual, but it is simply your body adjusting to the new demands on it. But if the demands are too excessive than what it can reasonably give, then be prepared for serious symptoms that tell you that you need to ease up and treat your body more kindly.

Too much exercise is when the body starts to feel too much exhaustion and discomfort after the session, or even feeling faint or giddy. Sometimes muscles in a certain area will have a burning or cramping sensation from being overstrained and overtaxed from doing a particular movement over and over again. Perhaps the person may not have hydrated enough in between exercising and that may cause giddiness afterward. It is very important for the muscles to get used to a new move, and that is why people do a certain number of sets with short breaks in between, also stretching before and after is important.

Doing exercise is very healthy and can help to increase endorphins-a chemical released in your body-which can increase your sense of happiness and fulfillment. However, if you do too much exercise this can be dangerous to your body and can cause an above-average blood pressure and possibly lead to faint. You need to listen to your body. When you see that you are begining to sweat very much and that your body is trembling, it is usually the time to take a short break and a good snack or drink of water before continuing. Don't push it too much, because then it can set your body back or you might even come to resent exercise due to the uncomfortable feeling it gives you afterwards.

Exercise is definitely an amazing activity! It helps your mental and physical health, and you should be proud of yourself for pushing yourself to consistently exercise. The general recommendation is about 5 days a week, 20-60 minutes a day. However, this is really just a recommendation. You can exercise every day for however long you want to as long as you have variety. In other words, it's not really how much, but rather how much of what. If today was a leg day and you continue to work out your legs for a week, that may be a little too much. But if you have variety in your exercise routine, that's completely up to you and your doctor to decide what is best.

Exercise is so important for helping alleviate stress and anxiety because it pumps up your endorphins. Exercise becomes too much when you’re over-working in order to “make up” for something or if you’re exercising with the intent to punish yourself. Exercise should never be a punishment, so try to engage in forms that you find to be fun so that you can still enjoy yourself while you do it! Whether that be swimming, walking, or even yoga, there is a form of exercise that is fit for everyone, so even if you aren’t enjoying it at first, keep looking for the type that fits you!
