I've heard it could also be a release of built up trauma. Not sure, I've never cried during exercising.

Thanks @Teasel ane @parrotthepolly i think it’s that stuff and if anyone else wants to respond it just helps me stay focused and feel more normal and not give up working out i hate the pain I feel but I need to work out

if it is pent up trauma...why does it come on so quick you think? or is it because I am pushing my threshold of pain.

like: I am usually at the end of my set...when I start to cry ---- its not like this: ....its work out work out and I think wth. and calm mysel down. cold water etc.

is it mental exhaustion? cause I am pushing myself

emotional release?

it feels the same each time but at different work outs but mostly at the end

am I not supposed to push this hard?

I do feel better after. hmm. sorry if too much just so curious and want to do the right thing

Ive had trainers that worked with my dr so back to my question I am not pushing too hard for bodily limits. is my emotional pain or mental pain or something growing

idk if that makes sense.

I think I am addicted to physical activity. I always have been. I have been working with a trainer for over 20 years. I cycle, hike, gym, XC ski and blast around the desert on my motorcycle. I am turning 70 in a few months so I am very lucky to be able to do this stuff and I am able to do it because I never stopped pushing myself physically. The benefits of exercise on mental health is just beginning to be understood. I think this is super important for those dealing with anger.

I am basically lazy so the trainer is very important for me. I use garmin computers on my bikes and a wrist one for hiking. After each activity I send her the garmin report so I can’t cheat. I n all my life, the best singular thing I have done for myself was get and keep the trainer. We also do yoga together 4 times a week.
