I believe you cannot exercise too much, as long as you’re eating enough and feel good and not too worn out.

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.

When you feel persistent fatigue after exercising, it might be a sign of over-exercising. Also, an increased elevated heart rate is also a sign of excessive exercise.

This is a very subjective answer. Everything is good in moderation is the saying, but at the same time there can be such a thing. So long as this is not impacting your life in a negative way I do not think there is an actual answer.

It differs between people. However if you're exercising to the point of exhaustion or to the point you loose motivation then stop. Most people only need an hour a day.

The truth is that there is no hard number for the amount of time that counts as excessive; every individual body is different, and the best way to judge if you're doing too much exercise is to listen to your body. A little muscle soreness isn't necessarily bad, but if you're in constant pain or having trouble doing daily activities like walking or raising your arms, that's a sign that you're probably exercising too much and should ease up on your workouts. Other signs of excessive exercise include feeling constantly tired or tire out more easily than usual (a healthy exercise routine should give you energy, not drain it), losing weight very quickly, especially if it's not intentional, and if your mental health is suffering from trying to keep up your exercise routine (if you feel compelled to exercise, for example, or if you feel like other areas of your life like your job, schoolwork or social life are suffering because you're always exercising). Listen to your body and mind, and they will tell you how much is too much.

Anything in excess can damage you mentally and physically. This is really a question for a doctor. You have to know what your body is capable of. Consult a physician before starting a workout routine. That being said exercise can help you in almost every aspect of your life. You must be at peace in your mind your body and your soul. Once this is achieved you will find balance which will lead to love and happiness within yourself and within those who are around you. Sounds difficult? It's not as hard as it sounds. Good luck to you

I believe that there is a fine line between getting "swole" and hurting your body. If you look at most bodybuilders, you see mountains upon mountains of muscle. While most people see these behemoths as something to look towards and strive to, most don't see the sacrifices that are made. I myself take part in a strenuous weight lifting plan, and I benefit greatly from it. But I know when enough is enough. If you feel severe pain when lifting or running, it's your body telling you to stop. I'm sure we've all heard "no pain, no gain." But in all actuality, it's often the opposite. If there is a pain, there is no gain. Your body is telling you that you've done enough. Listen to your body.
