Am I exercising too much?!
Question:
Am I exercising too much?
I am 5'2 and I weigh 101 pounds. I weight lift for 30 minutes, and then run 3 miles, usually in 30 something minutes...everyday. I do this 6 times a week. Is this too much?
Answers:
there is such a thing as over working your body (especially with running) and causing more damage than good, but i think that if you are at least doing resistance training w/ weights, and not just doing cardio, and your taking in enough calories for energy - and drinking plenty of water - then you should be okay. and it's great that you are taking a day off to rest! your body needs that.
besides, you're not working out excessively when it comes to time, so that's good. oh, and as long as you're not exercising because it's an obsession, i think you're doing well. you're weight is good, too. just don't go below 100 lbs!
