Ep. 53 - Types of Exercise That Make Anxiety Worse

This week on The Breaking Up With Anxiety® Podcast, it's another Ask Me Anything episode where I answer a great question from you—my amazing community! Specifically, about exercise and anxiety.

The question is: "I hear you say you're a spin addict and you love spinning... is that a type of exercise you recommend for anxiety?"

Short answer… no!

In this episode, I explain why high-intensity exercises like spinning aren’t ideal if you have anxiety, especially if you're dealing with hormonal imbalances or adrenal issues. Instead, I break down how to adjust your workouts based on the four phases of your menstrual cycle. We cover which exercises are most beneficial in each phase, how to avoid over-exercising, and why strength training might be a better option for long-term mental health.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your workouts with your hormones and anxiety, this episode is for you. Plus, I share how I personally cycle-sync my own exercise routine!
