Process Addiction
Exercise Addiction
When exercise stops serving your health and starts controlling it.
Understanding exercise addiction
Exercise addiction is a compulsive need to work out that overrides injury, exhaustion, relationships, and rest. Often praised as discipline, it can mask anxiety, body-image distress, or a need for control.
Signs to look for
- Exercising through injury or illness
- Intense guilt or anxiety when missing a session
- Prioritizing workouts over relationships and rest
- Tying self-worth to training
- Increasing intensity to feel 'enough'
