Before starting your program of exercises, consult a physician. An exercise program should start slowly and build up to more strenuous activities. Women who already have osteoporosis of the spine should be careful about exercise that jolts or puts weight on the back, as it could cause a fracture. Although most of us don't get enough exercise, a small percentage of women become psychologically addicted to exercise. They feel the need to train every day and feel guilty if they miss a single session.
Excessive exercise is as bad as no exercise at all.
It can affect every facet of your life. When you train too much, you can experience mood swings and problems with sleep and appetite. You're also more susceptible to colds and injuries, as intense physical exercise can lower the integrity of the immune system. If you think you are a compulsive exerciser or that you are training excessively, it may help to know in physiological terms how fit you are. Compare your physical fitness level with the published data on the desirable level and your target level.
