I've done it in the past and I definitely felt the difference, but for the past few years I've gotten into the habit of sitting down all day except for a few times during my commute. And now that I quit smoking, I'm even more sedintary because I don't even get up to go outside and smoke. I'm really not that stressed out. I've been stressed out--<em>really</em> stressed out--and I know how it feels. What I need is more balance and harmony. I'm working/commuting too much, it's taking too much out of me and I'm not putting enough back in. @Dave #2, I'm sure that if I exercise more I'll feel less stressed, sleep better and digest better.

I'm really not that stressed out. I've been stressed out–really stressed out–and I know how it feels. What I need is more balance and harmony. I'm working/commuting too much, it's taking too much out of me and I'm not putting enough back in.

I do an hour of daily cardio at the gym & feel relatively fit for a middle aged guy (now that I said that, I'll have a heart attack on the eliptical machine). But my daily travels consist of garages and parking lots. When I lived in Tokyo, walking or biking to & from home /station / work /shopping (especially with all the stairs) was much more exercise than I can get today at the gym. My point is that your symptoms (including sleep disturbances) appear psychosomatic, which are real disorders caused by mental processes rather than immediate physiological causes. I had some of the same issues as you and after learned to control it after figuring out how intense the the mind/body connection is. Thanks for sharing all this and good luck.

Living in Japan as long as you have will do that to a person. I doubt its lack of exercise because you already walk and bike a lot more than the average American. Sounds like you need to take care of your head. In a past podcast you were strongly anti-marijuana, but I think you need a bong hit :-) Take it easy man!
