Risks of extreme exercise

Exercising and staying active is great for your health in all ways-psychologically, socially, emotionally, and mentally- but too much exercise is just as unhealthy as no exercise. I just came across an article on Greatist on exercise disorders.  These disorders are seen as being similar to and may be connected to eating disorders. People with exercise disorders may have low self-esteem about their body image, their weight, and other factors just like with eating disorders have.  This article also goes into mentioning how the fitness industry and media play an affect on people and their body image and the symptoms shown by people who may have an exercise disorder. One of these symptoms is exercising two, three times a day-which is just too extreme! I'm guilty of working out more than once in a day before, but I have only done that probably twice ever and now after reading this, I definitely will keep it to just once a day!  It is great for your body, inside and out, to be active and healthy, but remember, you need to let your body and mind rest. It's very important. Allow yourself one of two days a week of rest from exercise. You'll feel better, won't be exhausted, and you'll be less likely to injure yourself because you will be allowing your body and muscles to rest. Please read this short article (link below the picture), you may find it to be as interesting as I did.
