Question. Should you or should you not work out when you are feeling a bit peeved?  I did ask this of my friend who’s entire lifestyle is purely about working out. He thinks it’s the best time to, and I felt otherwise. I figured it won’t be such a good thing to workout when you are angry. My rational is that when you’re mad, you don’t really think straight and that goes the same for when you are working out, carrying weights or whatever. I’d think that you’d just wanna carry something and then really just throw it around.  Well.. I proved my thought wrong. Cause today I was just all steamed up. I usually allow my tempers too cool off after a while. But this one kept on pursuing my head for reasons I shall not reveal. My first thought when I felt the blood rising to my brain causing it to go into anger mode, was to just run. Run run run run.  And that’s what I did. Suited up immediately in trackbottom and my fav sweat top -then I just hit the threadmill. It helped too that I had blasted on some of my workout tunes that just fueled me even more to sweat all that annoyance out. So I walked fast, jog and then sprinted for a good 25 minutes.. i think. I had pause in between.  That didn’t soothe me either. Grabbed my car keys, water tumbler and drove to the gym at raintree. Hit the eliptical machine and stayed for a good 32 minutes, completing exactly 400 calories. Still not enough. Did weights – chest press, dumbbell flies, and some abs. I was pretty beat by now. Bought a can of vege oranged juice to plant back some sugar into the body. Came home… still mad. So I ran for another 5 minutes. That really took it out of me then.  Conclusion: Workout cause it’ll take your mind of things. However do a reality check. I still kept pushing even though my body was tired. I think that was on pure adrenaline there. Now I’m super tired as I’m typing this, but I felt like writing this down. Just to either remind me how dumb it was to just workout for a good portion of the day. Or to just prove that it’s great for a cool off.
