I don't know. I'm not one to talk. Seems like an awful lot of reps, I can't do that; I find it too boring. But then again, I walk an awful lot of miles on days I walk; however, the days between I do pilates which are 30-35 min. vidoes. How much time are you spending exercising? That's a good gauge too. If it's taking up a lot of your day, then, yes, it probably is too much. More than 2 hr. way too much time. 30 min-1 hr. usually will suffice. And it depends on the type of exercise too. You don't do yourself any favors overworking certain areas of your body and ignoring others. Like why so many reps on the ab roller; get some dumbells, do some arms exercises, lunges, stretching, go for a walk, try an exercise video. If you overdo muscle groups without resting or working alternate groups between , you run a high risk of injury, says someone speaking from experience. And don't push exercise through a minor injury; rest up, otherwise it can lead to something much worse (speaking from firsthand experience).
Become too obsessed with it, you get like me in college, I was spending upwards of 4-5 hours DAILY exercising, mostly running, yeah, you can say that was pure ED and OCD together, and it was the worst thing in the world to get back under control. And some would argue I don't exactly have it under control ATM; I'm maintaining my weight though because I do eat plenty.
