Probably.
Like most anything else, it can become an obsession.

Sure. Overdoing anything can be harmful. Some forms of exercise can do damage so, really, the healthiest is probably gauging how much your body can take, setting your frequency and length accordingly, and having multiple options so you can vary things and spread the stresses on your body around. For instance, if your joints are getting hammered from running or jogging, then maybe alternate with biking or some kind of stationary exercise. Be sensible and listen to your body, in other words.

Generally if you keep a steady health routine. Its easier when you are younger but if you maintain your weight / health including diet, excercise it wont be as bad on you because your body is already used to it but consistancy is the key. With that said like the ones above mentioned over doing anything will lead to opposite effects. Again just depends on your body and how you take care of it over the long haul. when your younger teens - > twenties, you can get away with a bit more compared to late 30s 40s 50s etc can, obvisouly not set in stone but thats what i have noticed.

I think some people take it to the extreme however I do enough running around during the day the gym is not needed.

There’s some solid advice here. It’s true that balance is key. Pushing your limits is great, but knowing when to take a step back is just as important for long-term health.

Almost as bad as getting no exercise at all.
