Negative reaction to resistance exercise, can anyone help?
by abroad07, Oct 25, 2007 10:37AM
Hello all
I'm a 34 year-old male. Whenever I do light jogging or cycling I have no negative
reaction, but when I do anything involving resistance eg weight training (i.e. anaerobic
exercise), I feel great for a few hours, then after that I become irritable and stressed
for no apparent reason for the next 3 or 4 days. I also sleep very poorly for those days
as well and feel really sluggish and lethargic.
The standard blood tests (which looked for probems with my thyroid, for example) didn't
show anything unusual.
Anyway, it would be really good to hear from anyone that might be able to offer some
help for this really frustrating problem. I'm supposed to be doing knee strengthening
exsercises following a cartilage operation but I can't due to this reaction to
resistance exercise and I love doing weights.
Thanks!
