Typical Features of Exercise Addiction
There are some features that make exercise addiction different from healthy exercise. Firstly, exercise addiction can be considered to be maladaptive. This means it tends to lead to more issues rather than improving your overall health. Obsessive thoughts over physical fitness may cause physical damage and injuries because of inadequate rest, malnutrition, and other problems linked to overexertion. Secondly, exercise addiction seems to be never-ending. You may work out too long and too much, leaving the body not enough time to recover. Resting is important in a healthy workout routine to prevent illness and fatigue. [3]
