Thursday - 10/05/12 - Thankful Thursday - Rachel - Overcoming Over Exerc...




This week I round up last weeks video too.
I discuss the role of over exercise within Eating Disorders and how compulsive over exercise is addictive and damaging, both physically and mentally.
I talk about the need to maybe take "time out" for a while, but to also maybe engage in moderation.
In recovery we may wish to "do exercise" but it doesn't have to be a forced thing that we feel guilty for should we not.
We can actually enjoy it; like going to dance classes with friends which is both social, good for you mood wise, and something that keeps you fit emotionally and physically.
