Beware the dangers of too much exercise

RUNNING on the road is a favourite past-time of many in this country and a cheap way of avoiding an expensive gym membership.

However, it is also one of the most counter-productive, in terms of wear and tear on the body and is dangerous for some people. We have people who partake in mini-marathons at the spur of the moment, who haven’t exercised in years.

The right kind of exercise and the right amount of exercise is crucial, not a marathon that has emergency people standing by for idiots who are overexerting themselves and should be nowhere near it.
