If, by Exercise, you are purely referring to going to the gym or sporting activity Then its down to your own boundaries, not forgetting that you need to eat the calories burned Walking the dog and general housework are also Exercise Doing a little everyday and varying amount will be just as effective

Hi you fabulous being! Personally, I just stick to the 8 minutes for now. But in general I’d say never go behind the hurting point. Have a great day!

Exercise is too much when you have over fatigued your muscles. To the point where keeping proper form becomes difficult. You must stop then before you injure yourself if you continue further.

If your exercise regime results in injuries and pain and makes you dread the thought of exercising, that’s too much. It’s not a job! It’s a celebration of life!! There are many people who are too sick or disabled or too old or otherwise incapacitated who would give anything to be able to exercise again!!

Too much exercise is when you start to loose time for other priorities. Your body will only let you work out so much--listen well. Push yourself, but don’t break yourself.

Its different for everyone. I would say when it is causing harm to you physically or mentally. Otherwise I dont think there is such thing as too much exercise. It is very beneficial. 30 minutes is recommended a day.

Too much exercise is when you’re feeling burnt out and exhausted all the time. I tried doing two instensive workout sessions a day with one light intensity session in between, but it didn’t work out for me (pun unintended). Now, I only do intensive morning workout sessions 4 times a week, try to put in an hour of light intensity activity every day, and do intensive evening workouts 3-5 times a week.

To much exercise is when you are in pain or not feeling good. Over doing it will cause issues and negativity in your body. For results you need to exercise & rejuvenate the body. Show it love cause it deserves it after all its hard work in life!

I think that when i was asking myself the same exact question i was in reality asking how little i can do to not feel bad about not doing anything at all. I think there exists a minimum of exercise that i should do i honestly dont do it daily i do it weekly it works for me in this stage in my life.

Too much exercise is when I’m out of breath and hurting. I can’t tolerate too much high intensity right now because I’m just restarting my exercise habit. I will not over do it so I don’t get burned out.
