Sorry Link, but unfortunately I'm one of the folks who don't get a sustained AD response from aerobic exercise. My brother said the same applies for him. But if I'm anxious, it dispels some nervous energy and it feels good physically (at least when I'm done).
I drag myself to the gym for some fairly strenuous classes. The social aspects can help my mood.
I'm glad working out benefits you reliably.
