Hello @[bl...]

I stopped doing heavy exercises some years ago (weight lifting etc) I tend to focus more so on cardio and that "runners high." 

From time to time I will climb some mountains, but that's it.

I can't say I have any symptoms (maybe being able to pop my shoulders, but that's from working at a desk job for so long and had it since 2019)

The excessive burping and benzo belly went away for me in 15 days of being sober so I am clear of that dreadful feeling. 

 

Cheers

I tried to exercise all the time when I first got off of benzos, wasn't the best thing at the beginning, but after about half a year, it was the exact opposite, without exercise I wouldn't be as clear as I am right now, in the long run it helped my akathisia walking as much as I did, 4 to 6 hours a day, and as time went by it lessened

Inflamation in joints and tendons even from light weights Ramped up anxiety like brain misunderstand why i worked out and puts all systems in high alert to fight or flight. Exteme sore for many days and pain like a chemical sorness or something.I think it is adrenaline and cortisol pumping out in the body.

I did not have these symtoms after working out before started benzo then it was oposite i felt good and calm relaxed satisfied.

I just end up feeling so tired. Also my heart rate gets WAY too high.  It seems to make everything worse. Muscle pain, soreness (like DOMS even though I did not lift weights) and weird nerve pain. I miss when exercise used to make me feel fantastic, but soon enough and I'll be there again.
