Tareq I. Albaho said:Is it possible to do "too much excercise"?
Absolutely.
Quoted message said:Is there
a point where excercise can hurt rather than make
the heart healthier?
Absolutely.
Quoted message said:In my case I usually excercise each day. I spend
between 1 and 2 hours in the gym on a bike, cross-
country machine and rowing machine. I usually
have the resistance at a level where I need to
make some effort but where I can last for about
an hour non-stop. I aim to maintain a reasonable
level over longer periods rather than shorter periods
at high intensity. (The rest of my life is mostly at
a desk)After that I usually do some resistance (weight)
training but the real emphasis of my excercise is
on cardio-vascular because I try to loose weight
and keep it off. (Although I am currently around
6kg over my BMI ideal maximum, but working to
get rid of that.) I am 36.In my case lots of people in my family have a history
of heart disease - particularly cholesterol related.I am not sure if that can be genetic?
In part.
Quoted message said:I am doing all this excercise but have never felt
amy symptoms - pain, chest congestion etc. On
the contrary, I feel great and the excercise makes
me feel like I am on a high.But am I doing too much?
Nope. One point. Your benefits from 45 minutes of CV to where you are
now may not be worth the additional time invested.
Unless you simply enjoy it.
