    Yup!

    I'm not gym addicted, but it's totally possible.

    If you think about it, exercise releases endorphins and gives you a natural energy rush and "high" and that gets addictive.
    Someone told me once that the more exercise you do, the more your body wants because it gets used to the endorphin rush from it.

    Not a bad addiction all in all :happy:

    Definitely! Working out gives you a dopamine surge not unlike drugs. It's better than sitting around eating (another dopamine trigger). In fact, I better get going :happy:

    I am addicted to kick boxing. The last five minutes of class I'm wanting to do it again.

    Pretty sure you can be addicted- my husband almost has to force me to take a day off- I am just worried if I take a day off that it will become habit like that of working out- It's just that you feel so good about yourself after a good sweat!!

    I love PB as well I have to talk myself out of it most of the time. I just love going I love the sweat I love the sould of the weights I love it all. I went this AM to get it out of the way and all I can think of is wanting to go after work even if its for just alittle bit :blushing:

    yes! it is for me! i took my 1st aerobic class 14 years ago, started teaching shortly after that, met my husband there, we bought the gym where i taught at, our son lifts with us, my dad works out there (been playing racquetball for over 50 years, it's in my blood) my best friends are gym rats......i'd say there is some addiction there.
