Working out does help if u don't wanna go to the gym just lift some weights at home. Its basically converting your energy into something positive and yes it is refreshing
its not an idle home activity and I do work out, it is categorically not similar to what Im trying to add to my routine before bed for idle entertainment at home and for a sense of emotional regulation via escapism. Working out is the kind of thing you do when you want to be embodied, theres a time and place for it.
