  • Hmm. I'll join in if I may since exercise has certainly helped my anxiety. If you bust it hard, your body can't find the time/energy to be anxious. That's what I have found.

    10- Ran 10kin the morning. Did 1 hour of weight training in the afternoon.

    I recently bought a Fitbit, so I have been walking more, but I'm trying to do a daily video workout. Some days I do Jillian Michaels 30DS or Ripped in 30, other days I do a Supreme 90 or P90X workout.

    Yesterday's workout was the ball workout in Supreme 90 (fantastic core workout!) and week 3 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.

    Today my plan is to finish up the housework at lunch, and after work I'm going to do a full body resistance workout. I ordered P90X3 yesterday, and am excited to try those when they come in. I love working out to videos- I get much better results than I ever did going to the gym.

    Welcome to Ian and Dee![/QUOTE]
  • I had a setback a couple days ago- I have had back problems for 20 years and Wednesday I started having sciatic pain in my back, buttocks and legs. I decided the prudent thing to do was take a rest day. I still had pain yesterday but decided to do a short workout anyway and just make sure I protected my back. Today I do feel better and hopefully can do my regular workouts.
