I exercise about 1-2 hours six days a week with a rest day on Saturday, which is more than what the study recommends. I've been doing this for almost 3 years now, and overall I think I feel much better mentally than before I started. I definitely look and feel better physically. I have more muscle, more energy, and a better posture. All this has helped me stave off (but far from eliminate) some mental issues like low confidence and anxiety.

To be fair, it says "too much" exercising. The article was kinda dumb to be honest. Everything that is too much is really bad for your health. If you exercise for 1-12 hours daily I don't think it should have a bad effect on your health. I work out 1 hour for 5 days. I think we're safe.
