Is it bad to over exercise?!


Question: Is it bad to over exercise.?
My body is severely sore now because I've been exercising a lot.

I am currently doing a psychological experiment on changing behaviour called operant conditioning, by increasing my habit in exercising more often and awarding myself in the end.

It's working.

But, in order to finish my assignment, I need to continuously keep on exercising for the week, but my body isn't able to handle it very well because I'm very sore and my muscles are tightening and I can feel it!

My waist feels smaller, but my weight increased, is it because of the building muscles.? I'm usually a 112-115, but I increased to 120 LOL Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Excessive training
Excessive training refers to the training in which the volume, the intensity, or both are increased too quickly, and without proper progression. Training with too high a volume or intensity produces no additional improvement in conditioning or performance and can lead to a chronic state of fatigue that is associated with muscle glycogen depletion. Research shows that training 3 to 4 hours per day, 5 or 6 days each week, provides no greater benefits than when training is limited to only 1 to 1.5 hours per day. In addition such excessive training has been shown to significantly decrease muscle strength. Therefore, trainers and trainees should make sure that their programs are periodized and slowly progressive. Finally, the concept of training specificity implies that several hours of daily training will not provide the adaptations needed for clients who participate in events of short duration. So if the training volume and intensity are implemented with a steady progression, and specific to that sport, then what should be the intensity of training.?
The level of training intensity relates to both the force of muscle action and the stress placed on the cardiovascular system. With regard to muscle action, intensity is highest when the muscles exert maximal tension. Training intensity can determine the specific adaptations that occur in response to the training stimulus. High-intensity, low-volume training can be tolerated only for brief periods. Although it does increase muscle strength, aerobic capacity will not be improved. Conversely, low-intensity, high-volume training stresses the oxygen transport and oxidative metabolism systems, causing greater gains in aerobic capacity. Attempts to perform large amounts of high-intensity training or trying to imitate the training programs of elite clients can have negative effects on adaptation. The energy needs of high-intensity exercise place greater demands on the glycolytic system, rapidly depleting muscle glycogen. If training is attempted too often, such as daily, the muscles can become chronically depleted of their energy reserves and the person might demonstrate signs of chronic fatigue or overtraining. The body undergoes inflammation in response to this training and should progress into repair and remodeling.
If you are constantly in the catabolic state of metabolism through repeated training, your body cannot produce the chemical substances and parts needed for repair, remodeling and ultimately growth of the body. This is called overtraining. The stress of excessive training can exceed the body
