Honestly, I just had a week where I was either going to choke my 15 year old son or I was going to choke my wife - my wife of 22 years - who quite frankly, could probably kick MY ass. We get along quite well but there are just weeks like this week that nothing goes your way. This was my week.
Unfortunately, I have to train at night because if I trained in the morning I would probably feel less stress about getting work and everything during the day finished before heading out to the gym and then, of course, racing the clock to get done before they close.
Throughout the day - as most anyone knows that is reading this - anxiety and stress build and by the time you get to mid-afternoon you are just begging to get to your workout. I don't necessarily "train angry" and I never thought that was very good advice because there still needs to be logic and control but I damn sure train just as much to stay in shape as I do to decompress.
I can tell this the most on my non-training days where even now with all of this stress I find myself happy that I have to do cardio on my off days. I don't schedule the cardio during the day as much as I just get to the point where I feel I need it and I just simply do it. I schedule it later at night, actually, but it rarely gets to that point and I end up doing it by late afternoon or early evening.
My workouts (and cardio right now) allow me to decompress and completely change my emotional state. It is almost as if I am medicated after I train or do cardio. It can literally take me from a chaotic mess inside to calm and tranquil and my blood pressure shows this, as well.
I always laugh when people say "you need to manage your stress better" because it is incredibly easy to say and yet there are things that need to get done everyday and in dealing with kids and school and appointments and when they get in trouble, etc.. I am dealing with my stress quite well, thank you. Just stay the hell out of my way and if you have gotten in trouble or done something that is going to piss me off, just don't tell me until I am done training. It's your best option.
