CrossFitters<\/a> were talking about adrenal fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJust so you know, I am essentially eating Paleo at the moment, having eliminated all dairy (okay, almost all dairy) and all gluten from my diet. If you get diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, it\u2019s the first thing they tell you to do along with regular sleep and backing off on exercise. You essentially want to keep your cortisol levels even and try not to spike them, which taxes the adrenals and the whole recovery thing takes longer (Robb Rolf\u2019s post breaks it down quite nicely, actually).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yes, adrenal fatigue is NOT recognized by the American Medical Association. It is quite likely your medical practitioner will tell you it\u2019s all in your head. I disagree, but I don\u2019t have a medical degree \u2026 I\u2019m just trying to feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So can you overdo a workout? Not just one workout, but a bunch of them, so that you wind up with something a lot more serious than sore muscles. Two studies now have looked at possible heart issues. What about long-term joint issues? Hip replacements? Etc.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019ll continue to read about it and see how this all unfolds. I also don\u2019t want to scare anyone away from exercise. It\u2019s a GREAT, super-healthy thing to do. It keeps us limber, improves our brain function and sex life, decreases risk for obesity and all the diseases that come with it. Everyone should definitely be moving \u2026 the question is only if there\u2019s a point where too much starts to become detrimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you exercise too much? It\u2019s a good question. What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see the posts flow by in my social media stream. The CrossFit beatings \u2026 the bootcamp pound downs \u2026 the ultra marathon journeys.
