The Risks of Exercise?

Isn't exercise suppose to be good for you? Am I now telling you there can be bad things about exercise too? Yep. Just like everything, there is a balance that has to be maintained. Do to much, and you could find yourself in trouble. A recent article discusses the different risks associated with exercise.

"No action is without risk and exercise is no exception. For example, the
risk of sudden cardiac death increases by a factor of 5 during vigorous
exercise for fit individuals and by a factor of 56 for unfit individuals."


The article also covers the topic of exercise addiction. One great thing about the article is that it goes on to discuss some reasonable solutions for exercising. It lays out a general plan and some excellent guidelines.
