We all know that less than 20 percent of Americans meet
national physical activity guidelines.
But, have you considered how many Americans are addicted to exercise?
Recent research is beginning to shed some light on the
notion that there may be a point at which too much exercise may have
detrimental physical and psychological health effects and turn into an
addiction.
How can you tell if someone or you may be addicted to
exercise? Ask these questions:
·
Do you follow up a poor run or workout by
running or exercising more and resting less?
·
Have you pushed yourself through a training
session despite an injury?
·
Do you value exercise more than work or family?
·
Would you prefer to work out instead of hanging
out with friends?
·
Do you feel depressed, irritated or anxious if
you miss a workout?
Each of us has a unique tipping point beyond which
continuing to sweat, lift, push or pull does more harm than good. People
addicted to exercise continue to keep going despite injuries, mental issues,
social obligations and physical exhaustion. They may even watch their careers
crumble, and their family and friends drift away because exercise is their top
(and sometimes only) priority.
These are signs of addiction.
If you or someone you know has an exercise addiction, speak
to a counselor. As you work with a counselor, change the emphasis of your
exercise from "more is better," to quality. Objective progress can be
made by planning your workouts with an experienced trainer on a weekly basis,
with rest and recovery given the emphasis they deserve in a well-balanced
training program.
Exercise should be fun and have an element of play. If
working out loses all aspects of fun, something has gone wrong. The most
competitive professional athletes still love their sport, love to run because
it gives pleasure, and not because it has become a compulsive need.
