"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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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