I've never heard it called that, but I think you are referring to over-exercise or people who have exercise addictions. These people are obsessed with working out to the point that it is getting in the way of their every day lives. They usually eat normally, but sometimes over-exercising is found in anorexia or bulimia. They often work out much more than necessary, and get really thin because they are burning many more calories then they are taking in (even if they are eating normally). Some can exercise for 8-10 hours at a time.
