Mindful Running

[rickrusch]

I saw a program on CNN this morning about mindful running and wanted to share it with the group. The idea is to block out extraneous thinking while exercising --- therapy for anxiety/depression?

Thanks for the post and link. I can't jog because of back injuries but I ride bike for excercise. I use the podcast app and YouTube to listen to mindful meditations while excercising.

fyi - There are several therapeutic, motivational and inspirational tools on podcasts and YouTube. Use the search bar and biokmakrk them.

Thanks for sharing

Good luck ✌️

Also exercising produces feel good endorphins in the brain. That's why some people get hooked on it.

I've always heard exercising is good for depression and releases endorphins. I must be the exception to the rule because frankly it does nothing for me lol(would probably help if RA didn't make exercising very painful for me) . I do enjoy meditation and occasionally yoga. It makes perfect sense to me that some people would have great success with what is describe in the link.
