According to experts, one can overdo it when it comes to exercise. Overzealous exercisers can run their way into stress fractures, insomina, and comrpomised immune systems. Every individual has a different threshold, however, one hour daily seems to be the maximum. More than 12 hours of exercise a wekk does not allow the body to bounce back well.
Of special concern are middle-age men who get back into exercise after years of inactivity and are at risk for heart attacks.

Bonnie - one thing not mentioned in this piece is the depletion of essential vitamins and minerals from overexercise. I can guarantee that individuals who exercise a lot do not replenish their nutrients properly, and this is crucial!
