So how addictive is exercise exactly? If you're exercising, past the point where you feel physical hurt, because it makes you feel immediately more alert (or straight up euphoric depending), is it dangerous? It's usually attested that too much of one specific kind of exercise (e.g. running) can have problems for certain muscles and joints but I'm not finding a lot on the dangers (if any) of more diverse exercise (where you keep moving with elevated heart rate for a long, sustained, time period, but don't do the same movements every day or every hour in a single day).

This sounds like what the human body is specifically evolved to do, so I'd imagine it's fairly safe and good for you. It seems like the sort of exercise one would get from tracking an animal for a few hours through the forest before killing it with a spear.
- jriot 8y agoHumans are meant to be active for long periods of time. There aren't any dangers of exercise. Only in the minds of people who are trying to justify their fat lifestyle do they perceive some sort of risk associated with what us, animals, are meant to do be doing naturally.
