Hi, yes, I do have a hard time exercising... and im the same as you.. I go back and forth constantly between thinking maybe it is anxiety, and no it must be something more serious.

Exercise is perceived by the body as a form of stress and stimulates the release of cortisol ( stress hormone)

However, research shows that the time and intensity of exercise can affect the level of cortisol release. When it comes to exercise, more may not be better. Training for more than 60 minutes, even at a low intensity will burn up the body’s glycogen stores, and so will strict dieting and stimulate cortisol release.
the levels tend to surge if rest periods are short and work levels are high. This is particularly significant if exercising when starved or nutritionally depleted and was also increased by training in the early morning when cortisol levels are naturally higher and the response to exercise can be more.
