Exercise

The word exercise can mean the following:

Too much exercise

Doing too much exercise can sometimes be harmful. The body needs time to rest, which is why most health officials say one should exercise every other day or 3 times a week. Without proper rest the chance of strokes or other circulation problems is increased, and muscle will develop slower.

Over-exercising does more harm than good. Performance is lost over-exercising, although the levels required to reach this are phenomenal (many hours every day of the week). For many activities, especially running, there are also significant injuries that occur with poorly regimented exercise schedules.

In addition, a relatively recently discovered phenomenon is that of Exercise hypertension, where the body's blood pressure spikes during intense exercise.
