The relationship between exercise and anxiety: from someone who has been there.

This is wonderful - thanks for sharing! I am a fitness competitor and bodybuilder...also a VERY anxious person. Throughout my training, I've found that doing 5-10 minutes of yoga before and 5-10 minutes of meditation after has helped a lot.

I agree - visualization while exercising is an awesome tool! While I'm doing cardio, I usually listen to motivational speakers which has also been QUITE beneficial.

Happy training!

    Thanks for commenting, I find the idea of the workout sandwich of yoga-workout-meditation really interesting, and can really imagine it working well. Getting your body warmed up and your mind for used beforehand, and then cooling back down and relaxing back into life afterwards. A really good idea. I'll be trying this out :)

    I haven't done much yoga before, is it something you can self teach with YouTube tutorials and stuff?
