Pushing yourself to your limit is kind of the whole point of exercise - running just a little longer when you're exhausted, doing that extra rep until you can't lift anymore.

So how hard is too hard to push yourself?

In a Parliamentary first, Act MP Laura McClure displayed a naked image of herself to highlight the need for her proposed bill. 

The image wasn't truly her, it was an AI-generated deepfake - made in just minutes with technology that can be found on the first page of a Google search.
