Too much exercise?

Okay a little backstory. My sister is an addictive personality, she is a recovering drug, alcohol, cigarettes addict. She has been clean from drugs and alcohol for at least 6 years and gave up cigarettes nearly 2 years ago when she got pregnant with my neice. She is doing great.

My mom is concerned now and my mom is an RN that my sister has turned to exercise as an addiction. My sister goes to the gym at least 5 times a week and exercises hard for 2 hours at least. My mom thinks she has become addicted to the endorphines from exercise and is worried.

Is there such thing as too much exercise? As long as she's not injured should I join my mom in talking to her, or try to help my sister convince my mom she's fine. She does a combo of many things from spin and rebounding classes, to the elliptical and treadmill, to weights. She never works the same muscle group two days in a row though when she does do weights. Even if my mom is right and she is addicted to the endorphine rush is that really a bad thing? My mom is not the healthiest person in the world and is prone to jealousy so I'm not sure if this is her jealous of my sister or if it's a legitimate concern, so I'm just looking for the opinions of other health conscious individuals.

Oh and if it helps my sister is 5'7, 147 lbs and is currently wearing a size 3. Thanks for reading this long thing and for your advise.
