Do I exercise too much?

There's no doubt that exercise helps burn calories and lose weight. Exercise can also tune up all the bodily and mental functions, be it blood pressure, muscle strength, metabolism, immunity, mood, etc. However, overdoing it can be harmful. Acute and chronic injuries should be prevented if possible. Know your own body. Gradual progression in exercise quantity and intensity is important. Cross training is better than a single sport to prevent repetitive injuries. Warm up may prevent sprains and strains in some circumstances. If you have major health problems or a family history of sudden death, you should consult your doctor for medical clearance before you begin vigorous exercise. Do not exercise in extremely cold or hot environment. Breaks and salty hydration are necessary if you sweat a lot. Headache, drowsiness and severe fatigue are indications of overheating and/or dehydration.
