I have to say as a cutter that exercise, vigorous or otherwise, isn't the answer for me.
Cutters don't cut to seek thrills. Cutters cut to relieve unbearable pressure. The sort of pressure varies a lot from person to person, and even within a person. Sometimes I cut because of anxiety, more often internalized anger, occasionally self loathing.
Sometimes when I don't think I can resist the urge, I take half a Klonopin and that helps me. But that's just me.
