Does too much exercise make you look sick? Do you get carried away?

Question

I was obsessed with keeping myself fit so I would jog for like an hour and a half or sometimes even 2 hours every single day n then it was all good for the first week but then i kinda started noticing i couldn't sleep like ised to, i had no energy left in me to n my hair started falling out but people did compliment me on my body but my face didn't have that glow anymore n i looked pale n my period came like 20 days late. I might have been anorexic or close to it. But all that was like last year, but do you ever get carried away with working out? and is it a lot if you run for an hour every single day?

i know this question belongs in the diet n fitness section but I didn't wanna post it there cause I like it here and their answers are not thorough n nobody answers me there lol

Answer 1

Too much exercise does NOT make your hair fall out and two hours a day is not excessive. You clearly have either a vitamin deficiency or else your hair can't tolerate the chlorine in the water (get a filter). Probably you are dieting excessively if your period is late. You need more protein.

My problem is that ever since I became muslim I feel embarrassed to leave my home alone, as a married woman, and as a result my physical shape has deteriorated significantly. I used to walk up to three hours a day. Now I leave my home only to go to the store or to the doctor.

Answer 2

do as much exercise as you can!!

  

Answer 3

I hope you take a Mahrem with you when out jogging alone.

Answer: No idea, people usually get healthier. Maybe your overdoing it.

Or your diet is poor.

You came to the right section here Allah knows best.

Answer 4

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Every religion has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty."

This applies in everything.  

Answer 5

It can't be bad for you unless you have serious health issues. People train for boxing everyday for hours a day, so an hour a day of running is most likely harmless, and more likely beneficial to you. .

Answer 6

Just remember, too much of everything sucks. Keep everything in control and balance your diet and exercise and you'll be fit. I often too get carried away while working out, but i keep myself in control..
