> Those must be quite some workouts! I think I'll be safe with my daily dog walk..

oh, yes! some exercise is relaxing and rejuvenating. yoga. or walking.

some other exercise is... well, the aim is to catabolise in order to anabolise back stronger. Like a hard-core spin class, or crossfit, or people who are more seriously competitive for sports.

there can be a fine line between catabolising optimally for subsequent growth and... injuring yourself / over-training.

and what is catabolic for one person (e.g., walking if you are a very heavy person and not adapted to walking) can be relaxing and rejuvenating for another (e.g., a marathon running taking a walk on their day off in order to assist recovery).

anyway...

i thought you might be interested in the temperature-tracking idea. because taking your own temperature would be a lot cheaper than getting your cortisol levels tested (i would bet). and also would be a faster track of where your stress levels are at than waiting on lab results. if it works, i mean...

that is partly why i'm feeling exhausted now, i've realised. it wasn't just that class started... it was that i went to a f*ck*ng spin class as well and started doing 20 minutes on the elliptical which (since i'm really really really not adapted to that anymore) is positively catabolic for me...
