too much exercise ? Posted: 03-22-08 08:04am


How do you know if your working out routine is healthy, or it is actually turning into something more serious like a form of bulimia? For those of you who have never read about bulimia wont know what i mean because of the many forms of bulimia, not necessarily just throwing up. But for those of you who do know i would appreciate the advice. Thanks in advance, Myra

I have a little story about that one: I used to live in a dormitory where a lot of the girls were obsessed about their weight. There was one girl who always was terribly worried about her weight to the extent that she would run immediately after having half a pancake for breakfast. This is called exercise bulimia. People can use working out in extremes as a measure to prevent weight gain. As everyone knows, it's not healthy to exercise immediately after eating either. It's really bad for digestion and it isn't going to burn the calories you just ate since they haven't even had a chance to metabolize yet. Too much exercise on a poor diet can really make you feel run down. The body doesn't have anything to build muscle on an you will end up having little to no body fat which contributes to depression. But some people just feel the need to keep moving all the time since they have something they feel they need to burn off.....no matter what the cost, they must exercise. I am providing a link to a site that will give you more useful information. http://exercise.about.com/cs/exercisehea lth/a/exercisebulimia.htm
