    It defintely helped me when I was doing the elliptical, but I don't do the elliptical anymore.

    Yeah I think it helps with lifting too. I am bipolar and it think working out my bad thoughts through exercise probably helps my mental health too.

    running yes-
    dancing yes
    lifting not so much- I have found a strong correlation to unsuccessful lifts and pure hate- for me.

    If I'm grumpy I feel better when I'm done- yes- but if I'm truly raging hateful- no it doesn't help me at all (makes me sad because I'm angry a lot LOL)

    Just getting pumped up on it's own is helpful- but I make mistakes and get greedy with my lifts when I'm angry and then get stuck. <annoying> think it's the lack of concentration at that level that does it for me. cranky good- angry not so much.

    not me.... anger creates lapse in concentration, and that will lead to break down in form and potential injury. if im angry or upset ill walk on the treadmill til its passed and then hit the weights.
