| Abstract |
Physical activity feels good and it's great for your health. It can reduce your risk of developing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, strengthen your bones, muscles and joints, and can even help with certain mental health conditions, such as depression.
<br/>
While exercise has clear benefits, it can cause problems if your love of working out crosses over into an addiction.
<br/>
If you constantly cancel activities with friends or family in favour of exercise – so you plan your life around your gym workouts – you might have a problem. If you exercise in spite of pain or injury, and feel obsessively guilty when you miss a session, it could be that you're addicted to exercise.
