Does working out make you emotional?

SunnyDayzMomma

After a very grueling revving class I used to take, I felt that way too. I had to high tail it out of there. Once the class was done I'd want to cry so bad I couldn't talk with anyone, lol. Regular exercise didn't have that effect though, just that class. It honestly made me feel like I was physically doing something so hard, my spirit was breaking. To complete it made me so proud/tired/accomplished/empowered/relieved that I was still alive. Lol. Just thinking about it now makes me teary. Maybe I need to find that class again!

Can't say as I have experienced this...usually I just experience exhaustion and pain....and it feels oh so good....

I'm usually happy and more relaxed yet energetic, and in a good kind of pain. I used to get emotional when I was doing huge workouts (1000-1500 calories burns). I would be exhausted and just...done. mentally and physically done, and I would burst into tears when I got home.

Sometimes yes! Depending on the mood I'm in. If I have got to a point of complete emotional drainage and then I push myself to the limit with my exercise, I have no physical strength to hold back my emotional state.
Most of the time it makes me feel amazing though.!!
I know for me it happens usually when I'm holding back or de-pressing emotions, thoughts or feeling about something. This could be the same for you?
Hopefully that has helped

Working out usually if not always puts me in a great mood! Never felt emotional other than excited if I got that extra lift.

I started crying during mile 26 of an ultramarathon. In my case, I think it was low blood sugar.

Happy is an emotion....so, yes.
