      Hi, yes you can over exercise. Your body needs energy to be able to perform the excercise that you do. If you don’t eat enough food or if you don’t eat the right kinds of foods to give your body the fuel that it needs to perform the exercise then your body cannot exercise as you want it to.

      Over-exercising can lead to tiredness and injury and often over-exercising means that later on you can’t exercise to your normal capacity because of these effects.
