It is a compulsory need for some physical type of exercise and has only recently begun to be studied. Addictions include commitment to jogging, running, and jazzercise, stair-stepping and for some people run on treadmills, spin, or stair-step for hours or participate in more than one exercise class per day. It is like with other addictions, but people with this addiction have lives which revolve around their exercise. Withdrawal is common among exercise addicts and during that time they experience mood swings and depression when they must forgo their exercise routine.
