Introduction
Anxiety is something that most people fear like the plague. Though it is not a disease to be cured, anxiety does need a remedy to help us manage it when it begins to threaten our sound daily existence. What has been misunderstood about anxiety is that it is not the enemy. It isnt a mental weakness. Rather, it is a valuable mechanism that alerts us to matters that require our attention. When we ignore the initial signals of discomfort, we ignore the warnings that it has meant to issue us. At times, these warnings may not seem to have any meaning in our lives, but upon closer reflection, we begin to understand that anxiety is a mirror that reflects our own issues that we need to tend to.
This book will show you how to combat anxiety with exercise. You have the power to train your brain to not only make friends with your fear and anxiety but also reprogram your mind to remain in control when anxiety approaches and learn how to deal with it effectively, painlessly, and productively. Anxiety can be a wonderfully useful part of your psyche too. If you let it, it can show you where you need to focus in your life and where you can take action to improve your life. You can use anxiety as a compass for your feelings, but it does not have to dictate where you go. You are the master of your ship.
Everyone gets worried sometimes; we all wonder what tomorrow holds. The fear of the unknown keeps us second-guessing ourselves every day. This is not abnormal; worrying is what makes us human.

Chapter 1: Understanding Your Anxiety
What is anxiety
Anxiety is the general term for extreme feelings of nervousness and panic, which worsen overtime. Once the anxious feeling becomes aggravated, irrational, haunting, uncontrollable, and interferes with a persons daily life, it has developed into an anxiety disorder and requires attention.
Whatever the reason may be, anxiety disorders are not a pleasant experience for either the sufferers or their close ones. Therefore, good knowledge of preventative measures, causes and the symptoms is important in order to keep the disorder in check or avoid it altogether.
Anxiety that uneasy feeling when your nerves and fears get the better of you, inhibiting your clarity of thought and clouding your rational judgment. It is perfectly normal to feel anxious and distressed when finding yourself out of your comfort zone, such as before a job interview, a medical examination, an important public speaking event, when confronted with something you fear, or any critical situation. In a very real sense, anxiety can be extremely helpful in our lives. It prompts us to prepare for important events, and when necessary warns us to get out of harms way by acting on our reflexes and making us take the appropriate action in a fight-or-flight situation.
Anxiety disorders have an adverse effect on almost every aspect of a sufferers life and therefore it is crucial that help is sought to manage the condition as well as possible. If left unchecked, other mental and physical health conditions may start to creep up as ones anxiety worsens. The biggest concern for anxiety sufferers is the development of a more insidious mental illness: clinical depression, which often occurs alongside, or resulting from, anxiety disorders.
Anxiety can let us know when we dont feel comfortable in a situation or with a certain person. It can alert us to aspects of our psyche that require further development, and in small doses, it improves our mental functioningallowing us to score better in tests and tasks that require heightened focus.
