Anyone else get a little obsessed?

Nope.

I am so in the same boat! I can't get enough, like last night I burned over 1800 cals at the gym and am going back right after work. I crave exercise and feel like if I only get to clean or mow the grass, I didn't do enough, I know exactly how you feel. Exercise raises your endorphins and endorphins make you happy, I.E. why people crave exercise, because it makes them feel good. I am forever going way over my exercise goals for the week, especially in cals and way over in minutes, I make sure I do activity of some kind every day and usually what I do burns a lot.

300 minutes this week, counting Sunday that's averaging around 100 minutes a day. If that kind of routine is kept up without enough breaks, you will end up hurting yourself. My wife is currently in a cast for 6 weeks due to the same kind of exercise routine. She wouldn't take off enough time to allow herself to rest after the workouts. So she went like gangbusters trying to get everything done and thinking she would baloon if she took off a day. Now she can't workout for 6 weeks due to not getting enough rest.

So just make sure you take enough rest days!!!

Getting obsessed is normal but you gotta allow recovery period. As recoiljpr said. The last thing you don't want is to stop working out because you are getting sick or injured due to not enough recovery time. Then stopping the good momentum (drive) you have.

It's really easy to get caught into a cycle where you feel like if you don't work out you will balloon, etc. And believe me, nothing good will ever come out of over exercise. Fascia tears, ruptured tendons, pulled groins, etc. Your body has to have rest, if you don't give it rest something will give, guaranteed. The first few times are a bit scary, but once you get used to the rests, you will begin to see why they are so important. That next day back your stronger, faster and have more energy then you did before. IMO (I'm not a doctor) if you at least take off 1 day in 3 or 4 that should be enough as long as you aren't over-exerting yourself every one of those 3 or 4 days. If you are totally against taking a rest day, then simply do a slow/medium walk for 30 minutes on your rest day to start yourself out with.

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 don't mind cardio but I wouldn't say I'm obsessed. I'm more obsessed with weight lifting But I do have my obsessed days with cardio..it's a good way to burn a lot of calories & when I'm in the zone I go hard!

I HAVE TOTALLY DONE THE SAME. PEOPLE IN FACT HAVE TOLD ME I AM OBSESSED WITH WHAT I AM DOING.

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?

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!

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?
