Luckily, few need to worry about the risks of doing too much exercise, especially in a world glued to computer screens and video games.

The supposed dangers of logging over 3,000 MET-minutes per week apply to a tiny group: elite athletes, military trainees, and serious endurance junkies.

For everyone else?

The real danger is not moving enough.

Keep exercising. You’re not overdoing it, you’re barely scratching the surface.
