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 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.

The answer to this question varies from person to person. For an elite athlete, they are training for multiple sessions for many hours each day! However, for them, this is not "too much" or dangerous because they have built up to that point. If you are experiencing excess soreness, pain, or fatigue, I would say that you may be putting too much strain on your body too fast. As a personal trainer, I see this happen quite often - and it can lead to injuries! For beginners start with light exercise for 2-3 days a week and for 20-30 minutes. This will help your body get used to sweating and working hard. Please see a personal trainer for a more personal plan.

Exercise is an important way of leading a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. An average of 20 - 60 minutes of physical activity is suitable for the average person. Exercise can be done in many forms and may be light, moderate and/or vigorous. Mental exercise also fits within the definition and may be in the form of relaxation, such as meditation. Any amount of exercise is generally fine as long as one does not push themselves over the point of extreme exhaustion. You may choose to exercise for a period of time that does not exceed a limit that is bearable for you. Only your mind and body can tell you what your limitations are.
