Some things I have noticed: 1. Geoff says that exercise is good for stress simply because the body - and its inherent mind - reacts to physical and mental stress in the same way. Therefore, experiencing physical stress in the form of exercise, which is contained and considered positive, allows the body to prepare for and process mental stress in a similar fashion: noticing it, but riding it out. I think this is true.
Yesterday I walked for about an hour and a half after work to run some errands. It did not feel like a strenuous exercise in the least - and, though walking quickly and up multiple long flights of stairs, I did not once feel out of breath. This is new.
