overexercising
Too much exertion
Overexercising is exercising to excess—working out so frequently or intensely that it harms rather than helps the body.
Signs include persistent fatigue, declining performance, and injury.
The term often appears in discussions of eating disorders, where compulsive exercise accompanies restrictive eating: Her therapist identified overexercising as part of the pattern.
