How much exercise is too much?

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!

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 ❤

Too much exercise is when your body is sending signals, trouble breathing, headache, aches. They themselves aren't the problems, they are just like alarms in your body, warning you of other problems that might be occurring/might happen. So basically. Stop ASAP when these warning occur. You can shrug headaches off when your sick, when you haven't physically did anything to start them, but when you are exercising DO NOT ignore the signs.

Physical symptoms such as persistent headaches, irregular breathing or heart rate, aches and pains can indicate that the body is struggling under the current pressure. Its important to pace yourself and have rest days. Too much exercise will mean the body cannot comfortably function

Trying to exercise more than your potential is too much.. Try to increase the your potential gradually. Don't rush to achieve the goal, take baby steps instead.

There is such a thing as overtraining! Although having vigorous workouts are fine, make sure you stretch well and often, as well as constantly hydrating and giving your body the foods that you need to be at your very best. When you feel pain more than basic fatigue soreness, stop, get it checked out by a coach, trainer, or medical staff member, and stretch it out if they deem there is no injury.

Your body will speak to you. If you feel dizzy, or short of breath, ligth headed, but also talk to your health provider. Good luck!

To much exercise is when you push yourself to point of exhaustion where you are out of breath and heavy sweating.

exersize to the point your body feels tired. not to the point you can't handle it, you should be able to feel fine after a shower & nap.
