People act like addiction is a word with an inherent negative connotation, but that's not the case, you can totally be addicted to healthy behaviours

You're confused about the definition of addiction... breathing is an addiction too by your logic
don't be silly. next stop is to reduce pooping.

but yeah, exercising can be an addiction? as sex. now doing these daily is fine. it turns into addiction when you can't stop or interfere negatively with your routine

Seems to fall into the difference between "addiction" when used as a common, everyday word, and the alternative medical meaning.
Ah, I am a bit biased to the medical meaning
