I am very impressed with your determination, and your strength inside yourself for making yourself continue to go. The dizzyness may also come from hyperventalating during your work out from the physical exerction as well as your heightened fear, try different music in your ipod, either something to soothe you or something to distract you. When I havent exercised in awhile, I start easing into it by taking the stairs down a flight or two, and returning via elevator. I wouldnt be able to breath if I tried to go up the stairs, even one flight, and with my palpatations, it would trigger a panic attack as well. I also add brisk walks before my shift and afterwards. A couple of physical therapist friends taught me some stretching techniques to warm up my muscles and it really helped. I hope to hear you post soon that you are sleeping better and have more good energy. Good luck, think Ill go for a walk in the rain! You just inspired me to kick my physical activity up a notch!.
