Sometimes I feel as if I'm purifying myself by sweating, like getting all the toxins out of my body, releasing all the bad feelings, all the tension.

I agree wth you, Dogstar. When I used to exercise more regularly, I remember sometimes I didn't want to do it but I always felt better afterwards and it is a great way to relieve stress. I'm looking forward to that feeling again now that I'll be exercising on a regular basis again.
