Depends on the type of burnout, but I would caution about doubling down on exercise.
For two reasons:
1: It can be an attempt to avoid working through the issues that led to the burnout. Sometimes it can be like replacing one addiction with another.
2: Exercise is stress, and burnout is a reaction to prolonged stress. Moderate exercise can help, by elevating mood. Heavy exercise in burnout can lead to prolonged fatigue and CFS like symptoms.

- gerbilly 8y agoFor sure, there is a lot of overlap between overtaining syndrome and job burnout.
