I am a 68 yr.oldfemale,bipolar 2 wit hypomania and no depression; i exercise every day and have been doing cardio, spin classes and lifting weights for over 38 years…i feel it burns off my mania when i work out hard…you hurt if u haven't exercised and have used muscles that u haven't used; my advice is to continue exercising the next day or find a trainer to help you determine ur goals; i cannot imagine not exercising as it's also a social outlet for me and then i come home and require quiet and stability to keep my bipolar in check; i am not an exercise bulimic where i must exercise for hrs. On end but it definitely has so many great benefits and no one believes i am 68 yrs. Old.
