Too much exercise?

What's too much exercise? I feel like I overdo it somedays. I do 80 minutes of cardio daily then some weights. I'm usually famished when I'm done. Today's one of those days I feel I overdid it. I've had no energy for anything else. I'm moody, tired and irritable. I also don't loose weight with this daily amount of exercise. Any suggestions?

    How much are you eating? I don't think that is a ton--my friend works out for an hour in the AM and an hour in the PM but you need food to fuel your workouts :)

    Take a day off tomorrow.
  • I think that you should feel energized and a little bit tired after working out - not exhausted, not in pain, not dead. So long as you're eating enough, feel okay with what you're doing and don't feel guilty/obsessive when you work out for less time or skip a workout then I think you're fine :)
