How Do You Work Out With Anxiety/panic Disorder? Posted: 11-27-07 20:02pm
I have been trying to work out to an
Aerobics video but everytime i get my
heart rate up my brain must sense that i
am having a panic issue and that puts me
into extreme anxiety mode.I guess i have
been dealing with severe anxiety so long
that any time my brain senses my heart
rate go up it throws me into anxiety/panic
mode.Does anyone else have this
problem,and how do you exersise if it
makes you extremely anxious
afterwards?Thanks...

There Are Other Exersices Posted: 11-29-07 04:27am
I have Stress and Depression. Why not try
a Calming Workout. Yoga, Chi Quong,
Stretching to Music or Dance. As long as
you are in motion you are doing good.

That's a really common problem, lets see
what I come up with-
You could try lower impact workouts- a
long brisk walk has all the effects of an
aerobics tape- and you can slow down if
you start to feel anxiety. Plus it's good
to get outside and breathe the fresh air.
Water aerobics is not just for old people,
in fact, it's really fun. The water has a
strange effect on your body and your heart
rate and breathing don't raise as much, so
maybe that would be good for you.
Or you could try the really low impact
stuff, like yoga/tai chi/pilates, work on
more muscular endurance and flexibility.
You'll still be getting healthier. Is your
goal weight loss, muscle building, or just
overall health?

Sorry rejuvenation- that was advertising.
But it was a good idea.

Yes It Is. Posted: 12-01-07 19:38pm
It is advertising to purchase cds. I've
purchased exercise tapes before. Didn't
you see the different variety to choose
from?
