    There is a name for people who exercise to the point that their knees give out, their kidneys shut down or they experience cardiac arrest: They’re called addicts.

    In regards to stress, it seems like doctors are spending a lot of time these days trying to prove what most people know anecdotally.

    I would keep the second headline to myself, as now everyone is going to assume they’re part of the 10%.

  3. Buster says:

    Exercise is bad for some people (about 10%).

    I must be part of that 10%. Some people report feeling a runner’s high. But whenever that I leave the health club, I feel like I’ve been run over by a train.

    Patient: “I’ve been feeling so wonderful lately. I’m concerned something may be wrong.”

    Doctor: “Have you considered getting more stressed out?”

    Patient: “No I haven’t. How much stress do I need per day?”

    Doctor: “About 2 hours of cable news television each day is right for you.”
