What are the disadvantages of exercise?

Exercise is good for health, but the word "moderate" must be added here. Only moderate exercise is beneficial to the human body. Excessive exercise is harmful. Moderate exercise can help you lose weight and shape your body, but excessive exercise will only harm your body. The intensity of exercise varies from person to person and must be done gradually. So what harm does excessive exercise do to the body? Recognizing these harms can help us pay attention to them together.

In weight loss clinics, it is not uncommon to see patients suffering from myocarditis and myocardial infarction induced by excessive exercise. Most of these patients are middle-aged women around the menopause. A few days ago, a woman who fainted while running in the gym appeared in the emergency room of Shuguang Hospital. The patient said that she had started to gain weight recently and wanted to increase her exercise to lose weight.

Due to factors such as high life pressure and estrogen changes, menopausal women's body energy consumption is reduced, so they are more likely to gain weight. Among middle-aged women who seek to lose weight through exercise, there is a general tendency to be impatient for quick results. Even though their heart rate has clearly exceeded the human tolerance range, they still desperately try to control it with their mind, which often results in heart disease. Generally speaking, the intensity of exercise a person can withstand changes the most before and after menopause. Therefore, excessive exercise is particularly harmful to middle-aged people.

Since heartbeat directly affects life expectancy and health, rehabilitation medicine experts and weight loss experts agree that the best way to exercise is to do aerobic exercise, such as jogging, aerobics, traditional Chinese Tai Chi, dancing, etc., but jogging is not recommended for people over 50 years old. Experts point out that citizens can use heart rate as one of the indicators to judge exercise intensity and choose aerobic exercise that suits them.

Another major harm of excessive exercise is joint wear. After long-term excessive exercise against gravity, the joints will wear faster than normal people. Once the joints are damaged, it is difficult to recover, so moderate exercise is a very important concept.

This shows that excessive exercise is very harmful to the body. For friends who like fitness, it is best to exercise in an amount that they can relax and accept, otherwise it will harm the body. The editor believes that how much exercise is considered excessive depends on one’s current physical condition. If you don’t feel any abnormality during exercise, then it is moderate.
