I'm about to go to the gym
Hi everyone hope you all are okay 👍
I'm planning to go to the gym in the next few weeks so i have this question does workout help you release stress and anxiety?
I know it's a selly question but i just want to know your experience.
@passionateNorth2259 I think any form of exercise helps with stress and anxiety! What kind of gym are you going to try? When will you start and last question (lol) will you come back here and et us know how you get on please :)

i usually power walk if in open area not a bunch of people i talk out loud say all the things i would like to say to others but it is not polite.... or just talk things through in my head i feel relieved at the end if you are angry or annoyed you walk work out faster as you sweat it somehow for me anyway becomes funny not stressful
@toughTiger6481 that is a good idea, I find I walk faster if I have rock music on and kind of drift along if I use classical lol

Hello there! It defintley helps relieve stress! 💜
Nice, exercise in a manner that won’t cause you more stress.
@passionateNorth2259
yes! There's actually a release of endorphins and other excitatory hormones during exercise which can cause a boost in mood and reduction in stress and anxiety!
@passionateNorth2259 Hello, I’m not sure if I can answer your question fully, but for me, it could help to release stress and anxiety. I think I would also be a good idea if you listen to some music when working out, it might help you more.
Hello! I've been going to the gym for the last 2 years at least 5 times a week. It helped my anxiety, stress, depression, anger issues and especially it helped my confidence. It even helped my social anxiety, I feel more confident walking in a place with unknown people now. I think, for me, it helped because I started to look better and I feel much stronger. Anytime that I'm angry or sad I just release that energy in the gym by lifting weights and lifting heavier it's my reward. With time people there start to know you and respect you for your work and I think that also helps.
