Exercise Addiction Video

Exercise addiction have been used to describe individuals who are consumed by the need for physical activity to the exclusion of everything else and to the point of damage or danger to their lives. These people have been referred to as obligatory or compulsive exercisers because they seem unable to "not exercise," even when injured, exhausted, and begged or threatened by others to stop.

Susan Moore, Program and Exercise Coordinator at the Renfrew Center on Philadelphia, was our guest on the HealthyPlace Mental Health TV show and she talked about over-exercising and exercise addiction.
