Excessive exercising is not good for your health. Many people continue to increase both volume and intensity of exercise as they progress, even if the body cannot adapt to it. As the intensity of exercise goes up, exercise volume must go down. Long duration and intense exercise set the body in muscle breakdown mode, where there is a net protein breakdown in the body. During this time, cortisol release is high to decrease muscle inflammation. Excessive exercise for which the body is not prepared can cause extensive oxidative damage. Free radical production goes up during exhausting, high-intensity workouts and such free radical activity is associated with oxidative damage to the muscles, liver, blood and other tissues.
