Anyone else get a little obsessed?

If you got the energy, go for it. I get like that from time to time. Energy out of nowhere.

However, sudden obsession in my experience leads to a crash later on when you get burned out. So remember to relax too when you feel like you need to

Yes- but mostly because I have an addictive personality - its in the family genes.

YES! Everyday I want to Kill it! I can't stop ! I'm addicted to endorphins!

yea im totally obsessed with loosing weight. im on fitness pal like all day and i find myself thinking about my next workout all the time. im just so anxious to become the size and person i want to b that i think about it constantly and will work as hard as i can to get it! my husband says all i talk about is diet and excersizing lol! but its more a diet to me, this is my new life style!

I am on here all the time too, its the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing before bed, I also am loving exercising I find myself wanting to do more and more and to vary it.

I think its good to aspire to get yourself more healthy, even if it seems like we are developing obsessions along the way.

I do this too! I think it's a definite improvement, as before I would obsess about eating sweets all the time!

Oh that's totally normal - working out increases endorphins which your body LOVES. The release of endorphins can be addicting! If you're feeling strong and want to increase your cardio per week - go for it! Just take it slow with the increase though - if you're doing 30 minutes a day for 5 days straight maybe the next week do 45 minutes 3 days a week, and keep the other two at 30. As everyone else is saying - you don't want to push your body too hard or hurt yourself

As a matter of fact - I know how you feel - I just hopped up and did 45 minutes of extra cardio just because I didn't feel like sitting around on the couch. It feels great to want to be fit, doesn't it?

I feel like that now. I find myself working out two maybe three times a day. Especially when I have nothing else to do.

Last year I was mightily obsessed with it all, I was obsessed with food, obsessed with making sure my numbers were in the green and if they went in the red, I found me some exercise! I worked out every day... I was miserable!

It all came to an abrupt end when I tore my ligament, got a stress fracture and ended up on crutches with an ankle the size of a basketball after running 10K every day on holiday and then deciding to climb a mountain 'as a rest' whilst I was in severe pain with it. Lesson learned.

Girl yes!
I'm more obsessed with the calories though. I always aim for negative calories, so my cardio is through the roof :P

Negative net calories? Are you also planning your funeral in advance?

I agree. Being in negative calories hardly seems something to aspire to. Not very clever, I must say.

In terms replying to the original post, I can get obsessive and feel impelled to do some exercise everyday, but I found that my weight was more steady when I took a rest day or two in between. If one can sustain hours a day for life, then fine, have at it, but I personally would like to live a life outside of exercise, meaning, I do some cardio each day, sometimes 40 minutes, sometimes as much as 240 minutes if I cycle somewhere nice for the day, but I also like plenty of time to do things like visiting museums and parks, writing, reading, seeing a film and just generally relaxing.

Getting so burnt out you become edgy, angry and exhausted isn't much fun, as I learnt.

I'm in the same boat, when I'm at work I want to exercise. I'm thinking about twice a day workouts but I don't want to take it fast too soon. I'm new to this.

Absolutely. I definitely get that exercise high from cardio, plus it's a lot of fun. I crave long runs, because I never get to do them anymore. Any place I can run and not hear the kids fighting is heaven for me - bonus if I burn calories while doing it!

My body does NOT like a lot of cardio tho, I've cut back to 2x a week but still feel like "sneaking in" a quick HiiT workout on my strength days.
