Exercise

[kazscom]

Has anyone had experience of being addicted to exercise, not too loose weight as part of anoerexia but as an addiction in it's own right?

Yeah I had a friend of mine, who is addicted on it. I think it would be fine to exercise regularly for about an hour daily. But my friend do it for almost a day. I think it's not good already.

This is common problem . some people feel that if they stop exercising then they will start gaining weight , so they just keep on exercising to maintain there body which hurts them in long run.

I think exercise addiction becomes compulsive for some people. Do you think exercise addiction can be as damaging and consuming as that of alcohol and drugs?

[mtajim]

Yes , if its done even after you have lost too much of weight , i think heavy excersie can hurt the structure of the body

I have never any person addicted to exercise but it sounds interesting. Sometime addictions sound very funny isn't it? Can you tell me it negative effects??

I know of a few people that have become addicted to exercising and you can tell that in the way their body looks. It is not to lose weight but because they wanted to make sure they look good all the time.

I took sports science at school and there were a few people who seriously over-exercised - several hours a day every day - some of them ended up super fit, some of them did more damage to themselves than good.

Exercise gives you a buzz, and I guess it's natural to want more of the same feeling. I would imagine getting treatment for exercise addiction would be difficult, unless you got a physician that was willing to listen.

Exercise has to part of everyone`s life in order to have a healthy body and mind. I don`t think of it as an addction at all , maybe you can call it an addiction if you use to exercise as many as 8 hours a day, but still there are fitness teachers that exercise even more than that, but this cannot be called an addcition.

Thats not a big deal to get addicted to exercise as because doing exercise everyday is as normal as bathing everyday.
