I wish i had the article,but just be cautious in what u choose for ur excersise program.
Lot of escersises are a jolt of adrenaline to u,and that is no fun for anxiety.
The article said to pick a low intensity workout like swiming where its more controled,im sure everyone knows swimmming is about the best excersise u can do,cardio pluse weight resistince for every muscle in ur body.
I personaly cant swim too well,and i know the big problem with that is not everyone has the time or a oympic pool at there daily disposal.
I think this is just another case of truly listening to ur body,if u feel u anxiety is worse dont kid urself and keep on,there are so many forms of excersise look into another.I know people who are jog addicts and it does wonders,for myself however,it makes me feel totaly horrid for the whole day,i could also forget about any weight training after,i tried to kid myself cause i wanted the rsults so bad,but nah it wasnt for me,this was long ago.
Even now as ive stated before i try to do my lifting beofre my meds,as it just seems to make the medication useless,i bench a lot and when imd done im a big ball of adrenaline,so i take the drugs way after.
I also once tried to attack the anxiety when i dident know what it was and took boxing,let me tell u those workouts are no joke.I did it for a few months and when i had no issues sparing i realised it wasnt a actual fear,i wasnt scared,this was happening in my house,alone,or whenever it wanted,had nothing to do with external fear was some form of physical attribute,so i gave up the boxing cause it was over 50 bucks a month but it was so much fun.
This is actualy a good example of why i dont believe in the whole tharpy facing anxiety stuff,yess i had fear on front of people,boxing someone,but it was a different fear,one i could control,external,and felt normal.
Anxiety is so terrifying cause its unique,and so fing uncotrnolable a person gets so frightened when they feel helpless that they cant control it,when they know normaly they could control anxiety.
I believe its a total overworking of the brrain somewhere,some form over overstimuli.Anyway im wayyy of track,but thanks for the comments,does make me feel better,and good luck on the running,anxiety aside its one of the most effective things for weight loss u can psotivly due.
But obviously u know this lol//
