How Much Exercise Is Too Much?

The idea of too much exercise can seem nonsense, especially if you are one of those people who struggle to get any exercise during a typical week. However, it is possible to exercise too much, which can lead to tiredness, depression and even physical injury. It can also affect your work or your relationships and it can take months to fully recover from over training. http://forum.roids.biz/u810contact

It's all too easy to make the mistake of exercising too much if you aren't used to it. Deciding to keep fit, exercise and eat healthier is commendable, but you should definitely start out slowly, especially if your body simply isn't used to it. Evaluating your overall level of fitness should be your first step, and consulting with your doctor is highly recommended. Walking is one of the simplest, yet most effective forms of exercise for anyone who isn't used to exercising. However, if you are tired and breathless after a few minutes of walking, common sense should tell you that it is advisable to quit. http://www.anabolicsteroidforums.com/member.php/30744-topsteroidsforsa

There are some obvious signs that you are exercising too much. Being tired after you work out should be a warning sign, as should a decrease in appetite or regular insomnia. Most people know when they are seriously out of breath, and if that applies to you after a workout session, it's a sure sign that you are overdoing it. A rapid heart rate should be a signal to take a break from exercising, as should a weakened immune system. You can actually gain body fat if you overdo it, as too much stress causes the body to increase its cortisol levels.

However, it isn't just the physical signs that can tell you that you are exercising too much. You are probably overdoing it if you notice that your performance at work or school is suffering, that you don't have any time for anything else, or you are scheduling your entire day around exercise. If you exercise solely to compensate for eating too much, you should slow down and look at your overall lifestyle. It's also acceptable to skip your exercise routine every now and then; feeling that you must exercise no matter what, should be a red flag. http://forum.anabolic.org/members/topsteroidsforsale.6299/
