Can a Workout Plan Cause Anxiety and Depression?

Does Starting a New Workout Plan Cause Anxiety and Depression?

Doing a workout is a great way to reduce anxiety and boost mood. Exercise releases endorphins and other chemicals that improve your mood and overall health. Some research has even shown that exercise can stave off depression and other psychological ailments.

Reducing Stress

One study found that a 10-minute brisk walk is the best exercise to reduce stress. Exercise increases the production of dopamine, a feel-good chemical. It also lowers your resting heart rate, which can help reduce the frequency of panic attacks.

Staying Positive

Research has also found that regular physical activity can increase self-esteem, which is a major factor in psychological resilience. This may explain why people who exercise tend to be more socially engaged, which is an important part of staying positive.

Workout Lifestyle

Getting started on a workout program may trigger anxiety, especially if you’re not used to exercising. For this reason, it’s best to start off small and gradually build up the time. You’ll also want to stick to a routine to make it more likely that you’ll stick with it.

Journalizing

Recognizing your thought patterns is the best way to combat anxiety and other negative feelings. Change your negative thoughts to more positive ones. Try journaling, which can help you to process emotions and learn coping techniques.

Another way to alleviate anxiety is to schedule workouts when you’re most energetic. If you’re not sure when is the best time for you, look at your calendar. Start with shorter sessions, like a brisk walk, and work your way up to longer ones when you’re feeling better.
