Extreme Health Part 1 of 4: When the fit die young

Is there such a thing as too much exercise? What causes seemingly healthy and fit people to collapse in the middle of exercising? We talk about how much exercise is enough, and when we are pushing ourselves beyond our limits. This is an edited recording of the panel discussion that was held at the BFM Extreme Health event on July 28th, presented by Sunway Medical Centre.
