There is no universally recognized definition of compulsive exercise, though it involves being obsessed and all-consumed by exercising, and those who suffer from it often describe themselves as being miserable, in pain, or depressed all the time. Although it is frequently accompanied by an eating disorder (85% of those with eating disorders also exercise compulsively), there are also people who may be hyper-focused on exercise alone.</p> Mon, 14 Mar 2022 17:19:28 +0000 lawrence.chiang@mail.mcgill.ca 286293 at /newsroom
