anxiety when exercising
i do the same thing. i think i associate my heart beating fast with panic attacks. i have found a workout that i don't get anxious about...it's this gym where they do stations of weight and cardio traning. i stay at the station for 45 seconds and then the instructor calls switch. i am so busy trying to do the station right and looking at what the people around me are doing that i am not IN MY HEAD thinking about anxious thoughts. it totally distracts me. i think that was the problem before when i worked out. i would be on the treadmill or whatever alone with too many thoughts. hope that helps.
