Please note that this video should not be substituted for medical advice. Please consult a professional if you or someone you know may have an exercise addiction. Do you constantly push yourself to exercise, even when exhausted or injured? Do you feel anxious if you miss a workout? These may be signs of an exercise addiction. While exercise has many health benefits, too much of anything can be bad. We often hear about the health benefits of exercise but less is known about its negative aspects. In this video, we will explore the signs and symptoms of exercise addiction, the risks and consequences of this condition, and potential treatment methods. Whether you are an athlete or someone looking to exercise to stay fit, it is important to understand the difference between healthy exercise habits and an unhealthy obsession. Check out our infographic to learn more about exercise addiction and how it can be differentiated from regular exercise.
