In 31 years, I've accumulated enough anger inside me to demolish a concrete building with bare hands. So, where does it all go ? Well, it comes out at the gym when I'm lifting.

You will not believe how potent a fuel anger can be, in the gym or wherever you exercise. Why unleash it at our coworkers or, God forbid, at our loved ones at home ? Let's reserve it for harmless (in fact, helpful) venting out at the gym.

Thanks, yes, I try. It is a very effective anger release tool for me. Of course, needless to say, exercise serves a million other purposes, but anger venting is a great one !
