Q: I hike seven miles per day, spend five to six hours per week in vigorous fitness exercise, and about four hours per week performing heavy resistance training. Is it possible to exercise too much? And how much is too much?
You’ve probably been told countless times that exercise is good for your health and fitness, and it’s tempting to assume that more is automatically better. But as with so many other good things in life, there comes a point of diminishing returns, and it’s possible to overdo it.
Exactly what constitutes too much physical activity, however, will depend on your individual situation.
The first thing to ask yourself if you’re wondering whether you’ve exercised too much is: “Why are you exercising?” said Dr. Benjamin Levine, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Dallas.
If your goal is to improve your health and reduce your risk of a range of conditions from diabetes to heart disease to cancer, then 2.5 to 3 hours of moderate to vigorous exercise per week gets you the vast majority of benefits, Dr. Levine said. “Once you get past five hours per week or so, you’re not exercising for health, you’re exercising for performance.”
And when you’re exercising for performance — whether it’s to get stronger in the gym, run a marathon or improve your tennis game — it’s possible to stress your body beyond what it can bounce back from, said Kristen Dieffenbach, an exercise scientist and director of the Center for Applied Coaching and Sport Sciences at West Virginia University. For athletes, the purpose of training is to induce a so-called training response, she said. You work out, and your body responds by getting fitter, stronger and faster. These improvements don’t happen during the workout itself, but occur during the recovery period. That’s when your body repairs the damage brought on by hard exercise, like micro tears in your muscle fibers, and makes adaptations, like increasing the energy-producing mitochondria in your cells.
As long as your body is able to keep up with this repair work, your workouts will continue to aid your performance, Dr. Dieffenbach said. But when the stress from your workouts builds up beyond your capacity to recover, you have entered the zone of too much, known in the sporting community as overtraining.
What makes things tricky is that the line between training hard and overtraining is fuzzy. There’s no formula or number that can tell you what’s too much, Dr. Dieffenbach said. Instead, what matters is how your body responds to the exercise you’re doing. Dr. Dieffenbach suggested thinking of exercise and the physical and emotional resources it requires as calling upon money in a bank. You have only so much in your budget, and if you try to overspend, you’re going to end up worn down or injured, and probably cranky.
Over time, your exercise budget can change. As you age, your body requires more time for recovery, so you may need to factor in more rest between hard workouts. It’s also constrained by the other things going on in your life. Spending long hours at work or traveling, or dealing with stressful situations at home, can gobble up some of your energetic budget and diminish your capacity for recovering from exercise, Dr. Dieffenbach said. One 2016 study of 101 college football players, for instance, found that their risk of injury nearly doubled during times of academic stress (like during midterms and finals weeks).
The most reliable signs that you’re exercising too much come from your subjective feelings of well-being, Dr. Dieffenbach said. If you’re suddenly tired all the time, or workouts that used to seem easy feel hard, or your performance has dropped unexpectedly (like your running times get slower without explanation, or your daily walk is taking longer than usual), it might be time to ramp down and rest, Dr. Dieffenbach said. Other classic signs of overtraining include trouble sleeping, feeling run down and not being able to shake minor colds and other respiratory infections. “Sometimes you have to back off to move forward,” Dr. Dieffenbach said.
If you find that you’re having to force yourself to do workouts you used to enjoy, or are feeling guilty about not exercising enough, those are other signs that you’ve overdone it. This is especially true if the feelings linger for more than a few days, Dr. Dieffenbach said. (Of course, these may also be signs of other health issues, like depression, so it’s important to keep that in mind, too.)
On the other hand, if you’re finding that your love of exercise is becoming more of an unhealthy obsession, that’s something to pay attention to as well, said Attila Szabo, a health psychologist who studies exercise addiction at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest. An exercise addiction can occur when someone feels compelled to do physical activity, even if they are in pain or injured. There isn’t one specific number of hours of exercise per week that would correlate with an exercise addiction, one of Dr. Szabo’s studies from 2019 found, but “it becomes problematic when it harms other aspects of life,” he said. If you’ve put exercise before your relationships, work and everything else, Dr. Szabo added, that’s a sign that it’s become too much.
One of Dr. Szabo’s colleagues, Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University in Britain, has developed six criteria for health providers to use when screening patients for exercise addiction:
1. Exercise is the most important thing in my life.
2. Conflicts have arisen between me and my family and/or my partner about the amount of exercise I do.
3. I use exercise as a way of changing my mood (e.g. to get a buzz, to escape, etc.).
4. Over time I have increased the amount of exercise I do in a day.
5. If I have to miss an exercise session I feel moody and irritable.
6. If I cut down the amount of exercise I do, and then start again, I always end up exercising as often as I did before.
To classify as an addiction, a person would need to meet all six criteria, and that’s rare, Dr. Griffiths said. But a lot of people exhibit problematic exercise that doesn’t quite reach the level of an addiction, he added. For instance, somebody who goes to work and functions normally, but then comes home and neglects their family so that they can go to the gym and workout — that’s still a problem.
Which brings us to the ultimate answer to our question: Yes, it’s possible to exercise too much. And you’ll know you’re doing it when it’s breaking down your body, making you sick or injured or adversely affecting the rest of your life. When it stops making you feel good and enriching your life, it’s time to cut back.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to have dinner at a restaurant with two teens that self-describe themselves as “picky eaters.”
One of them was my child.
We decided to go to a restaurant with rotisserie chicken and potatoes. They both like these foods.
Green beans and salads appeared on the menu but not on their plates.
However, they enjoyed their potatoes, which provide potassium, vitamin C and fiber. In fact, all vegetables are excellent sources of many vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Two of my three children have been “discriminating” eaters. My son grew out of the tendency and now is an adventurous eater who likes to prepare foods.
My third child has always enjoyed gardening and preparing foods. She will eat almost anything, except cilantro. It tastes like soap to her. That sensation is linked to genetics.
Some research shows that children may be born with tendencies to avoid certain foods. British researchers reported that over half of the tendency to avoid certain foods could be explained by genetics.
I pondered my own eating as a child and in my early adulthood. While I ate vegetables ranging from green beans to rutabagas from our garden, I could not tolerate raw tomatoes.
Around this time of year, vine-ripened, rosy-red tomatoes appeared on the table of my childhood at almost every meal. I did not like the texture and the flavor of tomatoes.
I was encouraged to try tomatoes, but I was never forced to eat raw tomatoes. That was good parenting.
My parents suggested that I sprinkle the tomatoes with sugar or salt and pepper.
That didn’t help.
They made bacon, lettuce and tomato (BLT) sandwiches. I was content with my bacon and lettuce sandwich on homemade bread.
However, I’d eat tomatoes in spaghetti sauce, casseroles and as ketchup.
I did not eat raw tomatoes until college when I discovered the delicious flavor of fresh salsa.
Much research has been done on picky eating behavior. Parents often worry about their children’s eating habits. They wonder if their child’s diet is going to lead to deficiencies with long-term effects.
Most of the time, picky eating does not cause health issues.
However, serious cases of eating issues termed “Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder” (formerly called “Selective Eating Disorder”) usually require help from a professional.
What do you avoid, if anything? Ponder the vegetables that have never inhabited your plate. Maybe you would like them in a different form, such as grilled or roasted. You might be surprised at the change in flavor and texture that comes with preparation techniques.
Some of these tips may help both adults and children become more adventurous with foods.
Be patient. It may take 10 or more exposures before a new food is accepted.
Encourage outdoor and indoor gardening. People who help grow food are more likely to eat it.
Visit farmers markets and pick out something fresh to try at home.
Purchase a less familiar fruit or vegetable food at the grocery store. They are available in fresh, canned, dried and frozen forms.
Try smoothies with a mixture of fruits and vegetables. Spinach is a good addition to berry smoothies.
For children, find age-appropriate kitchen tasks. For example, a young child could wash fruits and vegetables or help set the table.
Keep a routine. Serve meals and snacks at a consistent time.
Forget the clean plate club, even if you grew up with the tradition.
Slow down your eating pace at the dinner table.
Turn off the TV and don’t allow phones at the table during meals. Keep mealtimes a pleasant time to catch up with each other.
Offer only one new food at a time, and pair less familiar foods with accepted foods.
Be a good role model. If you pass the broccoli without taking a scoop, most times, your child will skip the veggies too.
See “A Pocket Guide to Preparing Fruits and Vegetables” from NDSU Extension for numerous ideas to prepare 28 fruits and vegetables. Search online for “NDSU Extension Grilling” to find grilling resources, including recipes for vegetables, fruits and proteins
Here’s a recipe I would have avoided as a child but now enjoy.
24 grape tomatoes
12 cherry-size fresh mozzarella cheese balls
24 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
12 skewers
On each of 12 appetizer skewers, alternately thread two tomatoes, one cheese ball and two basil leaves. Whisk olive oil and vinegar; drizzle over kabobs. Serve as a side dish with your favorite grilled protein, such as beef, chicken or pork.
Makes 12 kabobs. Each kabob has 44 calories, 4 grams (g) fat, 1 g protein, 2 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber and 10 milligrams sodium.
