Aerobic exercise and agoraphobia

Lauralai, YES!! I have found that exercise of any kind is very helpful in keeping my anxiety levels low. It make sense since exercise releases feel good chemicals into our blood stream. I walk, bike, and lift weights. The greatest help to me though has been hatha yoga. I used to do yoga because it was recommended by my orthopedic Dr. when I strained my neck. Then I got out of the habit even though it made me feel great. I am now back with it and it has been wonderful----it helps me to center myself, to calm my anxiety, and slow myself down. Exercise is good----KEEP IT UP!!!! :)

Hi, I'm at a point where I am trying anything and everything to get better. I am so totally housebound! I read somewhere that aerobic exercise helps people with PD. So I've got myself an exercycle. Currently, my only exercise, apart from house-work, is walking the dog. My poor dog. :confuse: I walk him back and forth about 100 yards each way over and over, three times a day. I have, however, recently "expanded" our walks to around two corners of the block. My question is, is anyone using aerobic exercise to help their anxiety, and if so, has it been helping?
