What is Exercise-Induced Anxiety and How to Stop it

We've all head that "exercise is good for anxiety" but what if that's generic advice doesn't fit your experience. What if that spin class gives you panic attack? Or just half a mile into your run your start to experience high anxiety? What if it seems like anxiety is making your symptoms worse? You're not alone. Join me in today's conversation around exercise induced anxiety, why it happens, and what you can do about it.  Today's conversation combines my almost 15 years of experience in the fitness space with what I do now as an anxiety & depression coach in a real and informative way.

3 Takeaways:

1. One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Just because exercise helps someone else manage anxiety doesn’t mean it will help you. Your nervous system history matters.
2. Avoidance Isn’t the Answer: Completely skipping movement reinforces anxiety. Instead, experiment with type, intensity, and environment.
3. Get Personalized Support: There is no generic solution. Working with a therapist or coach can help you identify your root cause and create a sustainable path forward.
