Just when I thought I'd seen it all on TikTok, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a video of someone running on a treadmill with a loaded 135-pound barbell on their back.

The article from MSN discusses the trend of "exercise stacking," where individuals combine multiple forms of exercise into one session to maximize efficiency and results. This practice has gained popularity as people look for ways to fit more into their busy schedules. However, the article questions whether this approach might be taken too far, potentially leading to overtraining, increased risk of injury, and burnout. It highlights the benefits of exercise stacking, like improved cardiovascular health, strength, and flexibility all in one go, but also warns of the downsides, including inadequate recovery time, improper form due to fatigue, and the psychological pressure to always do more. The piece suggests that while exercise stacking can be effective, it should be approached with caution, ensuring adequate rest, proper technique, and perhaps most importantly, listening to one's body to prevent the negative consequences of overdoing it.
