Hi,

Short and sweet - I am a very fit individual who derives a lot of pleasure and mental relaxation from various sports and exercise. I have no problem maintaining good dietary and physical habits. However, I do notice that if I am forced to take even a few days away from training, my mood lowers and I become restless quite quickly.

I'm currently managing an ankle injury that has me completely rethinking my routine. Question is - do any of you guys feel this type of 'dependence' on physical exercise, and if so, how do you manage the times when, for whatever reason, you're unable to practice it?

Cheers.
