is binging then exercising excessively a disorder?

Question:

Answers:
Sounds very near to Anorexia-Bulimia, only instead of purposely vomiting (or using laxatives), the person tries to work what they've eaten off. If the person is overeating, they are Stressing their body HOWEVER they are handling the situation.
Swimming (in moderation) is the least stressful exercise (but does not provide weight-bearing benefits), with walking (in moderation) least stressful on land, & the #1 fitness exercise recommended by experts.

Other Answers:
Yes it is called bulimia. Please go to a doctor or try to get help ASAP.

Yes. I presume you exercise to burn off the calories from the binge. You need to figure out why you are binging. Talk to a counselor about this behavior so you can figure out what's going on. yes, that would be binge eating. Even if you excersize afterwards, binge eating is binge eating. Also, excessive exercise in and of itself can be considered a disorder (especially if its compulsive). If this is a problem affecting you personally, you may want to either talk to a doctor or do what you can to balance out your diet and exercise routine.

Yes it is a disorder called bulimia. You eat excessivly and feel guilty for doing so and exercise because one believes that it will account for what was just eaten. If you or someone you know is doing this I would advise that professional help be consulted as this disorder can cause harm.
